Contents of a Curious Mind

Raised as a child on a steady diet of TV Sitcoms, everything and anything that was baseball, and definitely one-too-many issues of Mad Magazine, to honing a stand-up mini-career in college, to an unlikely thirty-two year stint in commercial banking, to owning and operating a craft art gallery with wife Pat for ten years, Scott has enjoyed, so far, a rather eclectic and multifaceted life and career. And all along the way continued to write poems, short stories and pithy one-liners about all he observed and experienced, and draw cartoons reflecting the pitfalls, pratfalls and oddities of our fellow man.Realizing that "retirement" was an opportunity to do everything that time doesn't allow when working, he has deftly put all that creative stuff together in his first book "Contents of a Curious Mind." Next on his rather expanding plate of creativity is compiling a new missive "Doing Stand-up While Sitting Down," about his faux (very faux) one-man HBO comedy special, and, as an ohmage to his banking roots, is writing a historical novel centered on a bank financial panic that enveloped most of the globe in 1837. Scott is a resident of Red Bank, New Jersey; where, when not typing away on his well-worn keyboard, loves to read, dabble in the garden and take strolls along the Jersey Shore with his wife Pat.
