Hear Me Roar - Quietly

What interests us? What events, thoughts, opinions, observations draw our interest? And then, do these interests define who we are? I am a well off, older, third generation Caucasian cis male. I began life in Rogers Park, Chicago, the son of a middle-class family. I finished college with two degrees, married, went to work, and now live in an upscale neighborhood north of Chicago.

 I don’t fit in any recognized identity group – nonwhite, poor, LGBTQ+, immigrant, trans, disadvantaged, or ethnic. As such I feel invisible. I ask to be judged on who I am, what I’ve witnessed, what I believe, and what I’ve accomplished: not on some collection of check boxes. I have a voice. Hear me

 What follows is a collection of thoughts, opinions and events that have occurred in my life. There is no particular order. When something of interest occurred to me or when a memory argued for hard copy, I wrote it down. This collection of words represents an accrual of knowledge and wisdom gained over a lifetime of experience.

 There may be some interest here for you. Clearly what these pages hold is of interest to me. If nothing else, these words will help define a well off, older Caucasian male. You should be aware of someone like me.
