Someone told me that the pseudonym for a porn star is made by combining the name of his first pet with the name of the first street he lived on. My first pet was a dog we called Poochie. We lived on Williamson Road. Although I am not a porn star, I still like the name.
I started this second blog page in the hope of assembling an Andy Rooney-like collection of musings on various topics that catch my fancy (mostly in the nature of gripes). Maybe, if I publish them, I will be less likely to bore folks with them in daily conversation. The page will probably be found only by people who read my profile, or who stumble on it with the 'next blog' button, but I guess that's ok.
About Me
- Poochie Williamson
- I was born in Stow, Ohio (just north of Akron); raised in Cleveland Heights Ohio. I married my loving wife, Bonnie, in 1972. We have two daughters, Amber and Heather, who are both grown and married. Our primary companions these days are a Chinese shar pei dog, Jazzbeau, and an English springer spaniel, Apollo. I earned a bacheor's degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1962. I served five years in the U.S. Navy. Then I was an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry until 2004. I taught maritime history part time at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, CA, until 2013, and I am now retired.
