Most folks, when I say I’m from New York, think I mean New York City. Especially when I was traveling internationally. They have no concept that there is an entire state north and north-west of the city. It is a whole other world upstate.

I started playing baseball when I was 5 years old on a Pee Wee team in my small town. My brothers were on the team, which is why I wanted to play. I wanted to be anywhere they were.

Wandering is my way. I often get lost, lose thing, forget things behind in the hotel (like my scarf this morning, ugh…). And yet I still get where I want to be. Not your typical tourist, I’ll walk for miles through areas that most folks would avoid, in order to find an out of the way place to eat.

I’ve been “publishing” some fiction short stories over on Patreon under the title of Clarke Tales It. This enables me to get creative and pull stories out of my head and put them onto the page.
