Ken's Life Outside Work
As much as I like writing, I don't do much of it on my own time. Instead, I dabble in a variety of creative, constructive, and relaxing interests.
I play bass in two old-guys' bands. Mainly we practice. If we're playing out, I'll let you know. I do my best to keep up with our 120-year-old house. Lately, I've been learning how to do trim, using Linda's combination miter saw. I serve on the board of trustees of our congregation, Temple Shalom, in Chevy Chase.
From time-to-time I get invited to speak on the business of freelancing and creative self-employment. I've participated in panels, workshops and seminars put on by Smithsonian Associates, Washington Independent Writers and the Creative Club of Albany.
Whenever possible, Linda and I get away for long weekends in Fenwick Island, Delaware.
Linda is also a freelance writer. She's currently a contributing editor to Newsweek magazine and a weekly columnist on personal finance and investing for Reuters. No, I can't get her to write about you.
Our son, Ben, is currently a U.S. Navy officer and our daughter, Laura, is an editorial intern.
