Ex-lawyer-turned-writer/actor/NPR commentator, I am a 2nd-generation Greek-American from Gary, Indiana. (Yes, THAT Gary, Indiana...) Aspirations: to be an Olympic-level listener, to reach a detente with words that feels a lot less like war and a lot more like co-conspiracy. To move and be moved via the written word. To let fly, to bottle my own lightning, and to give myself permission to suck, so long as it is in the service of something higher, even if I don't know exactly what that is...
