About russtowne

I'm awed by the beauty of nature and the power of love and gratitude. Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.

      Absolutely, uh, usually. Unless it involves being honest when someone asks, “Does this dress make me look fat?” or telling a spouse that your mom cooks better than she does.
      ;-D!

      And no, I didn’t, but I came close when I was younger and dumber and newly married. I said a dish My Beloved cooked tasted different than my mother’s. I’m surprised I survived the experience. My beloved wisely did what it took to make sure her silly husband never, ever, said anything like that again. ;-D!
