Who is Eric Margolis?

The reason I started this blog is because I love to write, and I have no other creative writing outlet at the moment. So I guess it's an exercise in personal therapy...something to give me that false sense of accomplishment I seem to need so badly these days. And writing just makes me feel good.

Funny how I never truly took the time to consider who I am. At least not in the context of having to describe myself to total strangers. This exercise is turning out to be more challenging than I thought; and weirdly seductive. You should try it sometime...

So on we go...

I am Eric Margolis. male, 55 years old, with the overall maturity level of a 27 year old. A nice guy. Not very complicated. Generally a happy person. Above average intelligence. Pretty creative mind. White. Jewish. I have worked in the radio business for more than 30 years, and it has been my biggest passion, and my lifelong hobby.

I have been married once, and I've been divorced for 7 years. I got married late in life, and I have a 12 year old son who is much smarter than I was at his age. To be completely honest, he's smarter than I was when I was nearly twice his age. He says he wants to be a surgeon when he grows up...and I believe he will be. Although he seems to have too much personality for the medical profession.

That's it about me for now. I'll be telling you much more as time goes on.

I am trying to become a better listener these days (you learn a lot when you stop talking so much), so I'd like to hear from you now. What is it that makes you feel good? What is your passion? Music? Money? Baseball cards? Something a bit less normal?

What drives you? What makes you look forward to getting up in the morning? What is it in your life that makes the difficult times worthwhile? What makes you smile?

Leave a comment. Let's talk about it.
