About Me

Derek Emerson
I'm another middle aged guy with a great family, old house (in need of repairs I cannot do), and a grill on which I pretend I'm the master (and fail) at least twice a week during the summer. The arts are a big part of my life, which does not explain my love for the accordion or the baritone horn (although the fact that I collect stamps raises my nerd level). I'm a college administrator with long ago majors in English, Philosophy, and Religion. I have a Masters in Professional Writing, which is like an English degree with a lot of writing. I've read a lot of books, but remembering anything is not a strong point.
