I'm Tom Trainer.  The hat here was a gift from my three most recent god-kids.   It's now a prop.  See "Vinnie, Santa's Special Elf, under Miscellaneous Writings.  I'm at the point in my life where I'm happy, healthy, and moving into retirement - knock on wood.  Lots more time on my hands.  Ergo, this blog. I write on several topics, some of which I might know something about, some of which I just make up as I go.
