About Me:

I'm an anachronism -- a Morse telegraphist in an Email age. I spent the '80s competing in triathlon and running marathons, was the breakfast announcer on AIR-FM community radio for a couple of years and called square dances at Footloose Squares. These days I teach Creative Writing at U3A.

Most of my stories and newspaper columns are at http://www.tomorrowland.info

Average chess player. Have won a few restricted tournaments but nothing to get excited about. I'm hoping those people who believe in reincarnation have got it right because, if that happens, I'm gunna start studying chess a whole lot earlier next time around.

For all those people who keep asking, "Dozy" comes from a column I wrote for a Square Dance magazine.  I used the pseudonym "Dozy Do" and the editor called the column "Dancing With Dozy".  It stuck.

Bullies on the Board

Submitted by Dozy on Nov 14, 2009 2:19pm.

Bullies aren't very admirable people. They're often thought to be cowardly but that's not necessarily so—sometimes they're great hulking brutes who fear nobody. On the other hand, there are others who only strut their stuff when they have their fri...Read more »
