About me: I've made my living as a writer since 1997. I've written five books (including The Producers: Profiles in Frustration and Yesterday's News Tomorrow: Inside American Jewish Journalism). You can order them through Amazon.com.
I write the blog www.lukeford.net.
As I don't have a wife and kids to look after, I try to read several books a week, mostly non-fiction (history, religion, economics).
I'm a religious humanist. All of my interests center on people. Rivers, animals, landscapes and technology are of no interest to me except as they serve people.
I love to uncover what makes people tick. If someone talks honestly, I can listen for hours.
Who I'd like to meet: Ethical people who read and are funny.

To know God is to love Him. My prayer is for God's children to unite in prayer, deed, and action, showing the world God's love. I just posted a new weblog synthia esther/ reporting on the "Mentally Disabled Being Made By Night Shift Employee's at a Texas Facility, To Fight In 'A Fight Club,' for amusement and sick, evil fun?'"
We are living in a time of great sin against God, His word, will, and ways. My heart is in prayer that these type of horrific crimes of abuse against humanity and the animal kingdom, will come to an end. Seeing that the sin before us is grave, I ask for your prayers for the lost, and the healing of those who have been hurt, harmed, and abused, In G-D's Name!
Where are you?? You're never gone this long on a weekday except on Saturdays because it's a Jewish day off. What have they done with you?? Are they now telling you when you can blog or when you can go on cam or when you can log into Myspace?? I don't know what happened to you!! Did they poison your green split pea soup?? Why not just work for a major Los Angeles newspaper or magazine if you're now going to have two Orthodox Jewish "editors" telling you what to write and blog??
