About Me:

I am a older man (52) who was greatly injured in a car accident in 2001.  I am diabetic.  At times, that affects my chess as I have to take care of it and sometimes I forget to log off.

Forgive me if I seem to be logged on but not there.

People wonder, after reading my blog, how I can be a pastor and have a Ph.D. in Statistics.   Well, I have four college degrees.  I went straight from the B.A. to the Ph.D. and worked at Sun Microsystems and then taught at several colleges.

10 years later I got a master's degree from Denver Seminary so I could become a pastor after getting married.  So I spent TOO much time in school, and because of my injuries, cannot use my education the way I would like to.
