Roughing It - My Life Among the Texicans

Dave is a child of the 70s, and by that he means he was born when Eisenhower was on his way out. Bad clothes, bad music, and bad hair. 15 years ago he clawed his way into middle management and established his career as a “yes man” in a technical field. He is married, the father of two daughters, one grown and gone, and the clock ticking on the second. Having grown up with three sisters and helped raise two teen girls, he has developed a remarkable understanding and appreciation of the mind and spirit of a woman. Put another way, he’s been mostly confused for forty years.

Dave wasn’t born in Texas but he got there as quick as he could. He’s happy there, and you are happy to have him there, safe and out of the way. He has always felt a tremendous obligation to share his gift of mirth with the world, even when the world said “uhm, perhaps not”. A few years ago Michele felt sorry for him was so delightfully amused by one of his stories about Christmas that she published it on ASV, and he’s been begging her writing goofy stuff ever since. If you want to read more of his nonsense you can find him at Dave In Texas and Innocent Bystanders.

You can also send him money email at gooberintexas@gmail.com

Dave also wanted you all to know that he felt very peculiar writing this in the third person. He wasn’t asked to do it this way; he just felt it was the right thing to do. He is refreshingly spontaneous like that.
