A Note from Don Martin

Hi! I’m Don Martin. I have a slightly convoluted sense of humor. This picture is not that funny, however, even though some insensitive types may snicker for no apparent reason. I call it “My Painful Eye Surgery, During Covid, While Wearing a Snazzy Hawaiian Shirt.”

I do love a good laugh. I love any kind of laugh. Sometimes, I can’t keep from laughing. It’s a defense mechanism for me. LOOK HERE.

I also love writing. I have tried writing serious, academic non-fiction, but sometimes it still ends up a little funny. The line gets blurred where one ends and one begins. People ask themselves, “Is he seriously being funny right now?”

I am a business guy, too, though. I have a real estate firm and have been the broker/owner for 38 years, now. Somehow, at the same time, lately, I have ended up writing around 30 books and 500 articles.

Circa 1973, me, at my home on Lookout Mountain, TN, resting after a Saturday of riding and jumping my dirt bike. Note helmet-hair.

I try to end this segment with a lovely nature/wildlife photo.
