In my day job, I write disability decisions for the Social Security Administration (SSA), which has made me proficient with the use of acronyms.
At night and during lunch breaks, I write fiction as well as non-fiction essays about the life of a writer and father, all purely non-autobiographical. Any resemblance to me in my writings is purely coincidental.
