It's as though you've lived 10 different lives Tim! I agree, lived experience can be worth more than a hundred hours of research. Excellent storytelling as well!

Tim, you're an alchemist—transforming people you intersect with in life into, as Saralyn Richard said, "Literary gold."

I love the way you've turned the people you've met through your vast experiences into literary gold. That is the job of a writer--to observe the world and comment on it through stories. And you do it so well. (I really enjoyed Handy Man.)
