inside The Royal Saltworks (tm)
The Royal Saltworks(tm) is a reference to a building we studied in
one of my
architectural history courses. Specifically, it was a complex built in
France to house the workers working the Saltworks as well as house
the
army to protect it. You see, in the times before refigerators, salt was
like gold. It was used as a preservative. Anyway, so it was like Ft.
Knox. Somehow the place stuck in my head (..ouch....) and I used it
since as a framework under which i collect a lot of my experiments,
thoughts, ideas, and writings. This section will most likely continue to
grow, so keep checking it.
The Literary Clearing House (tm) is where you
can find all of your favorite works of literature.....Well, not quite.
Instead, here is where you can find various works of mine which i
mailed to friends under the guise of The Literary Clearing
House(tm) which, by the way, is looking into arranging a sweepstakes.
(nawh, just kidding.)
With a strange brand of with and humor (it's either General Mills or
Keebler, i don't recall which) I have written many works of pure oddity.

series of these wit that i had lying around. (do not ask what happened
to vol. 1 and 2!)
Having been writing seriously since atleast 1989, I have megabytes worth
of poems and stories (and that is just the stuff typed into the
computer). Not all of what I have written is humorous, I also write very
serious things. This Poems section has a
selection of some of my better pieces (at least in my opinion. enjoy!
