I have taken up writing in my retirement; more for a desire to write than for the money. At age 77, I have long been a writer of letters to the editor, to politicians, and various publications.

Sleeping and dreaming are as necessary to the human body as food and water. One of the many problems we suffer in our modern society is sleep deprivation.
