I’m Papa Gringo.

For the past quarter century, I’ve been living in San Francisco where I teach college writing and dabble in drawing and sketching. 

Now, an inch or two from retirement, I’m wondering what comes next.

What adventures and discoveries might follow my mid-life career? 

Of course — nobody knows till they take the journey.     

So come along with me!  Let’s see what unfolds! 

Let’s do this together!

Along the way, we’ll chat about Zen and all things Taoist. 

Together, we’ll discuss old movies, review sidewalk-library books, and examine the impact of western astrology.

Consider this site as my virtual hut in the woods. 

Come inside and have a seat by the fire.   

Let’s share some mugs of steaming tea.
