I live with my wife Terry in Hemet, CA, which is in the San Jacinto Valley, on the eastern edge of Southern California's Inland Empire. We both terribly miss Tasha, our beagle-border terrier mix whom we had for fifteen years and who lived to the ripe old age of sixteen.
I am actively engaged in freelance writing along with web development and management. Details are on my web site: http://mikecwebandwriting.com/.
