I was the oldest of seven kids, so I had no older brother who would say, 'Schmuck, don't do that.'

Scrivener can be a tricky beast to get your head around. When you do, a bell rings, and suddenly it all seems perfectly clear. But to reach that stage you have to understand what it can do, and try it out for yourself. Which can be daunting.

I look like I have beriberi and scurvy.

I had a relatively tumultuous childhood.

I didn't really get a normal childhood.

I didn't have a normal childhood by any means.

There's nothing like a fresh scone.

I basically was a precocious little kid.

I think I'm probably a monster-of-the-week guy, and that comes back down to my old favorite show, which as a kid was always 'Scooby-Doo.'

My most powerful memory was hearing Earl Scruggs on 'The Beverly Hillbillies' as a 5 or 6 year old. That sound just blew me away, shook my head up.
