Writer. Journalist. Raconteur.

I live in Cape May, New Jersey, USA, where I write about politics, culture, science, history, religion and travel. I look a bit like if Hagrid ate Harry. I hate bullies no matter what side they’re on. I'm kind, until you push me. Three kids. Seven grands. Running out of fucks.

Phillies. Eagles. Liverpool.

There are some who call me—Tim.

Young people think they’ll never get old.

If they do get old, they’ll be the cool, radical type of old. Hunter S Thompson or Earnest Hemingway. But in reality, we mostly get slower, less sure of ourselves, and often a little frightened. We don’t raise hell in the nursing home or start doing heroin at 80. We fade into oblivion, slowly.

We do know a thing or two about what happens to young people. We were there once, too.

Don’t be so sure you are any different.
