All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

Mark Twain

Terrell Esmond Hillard

Sometimes you don’t have to read
between the lines.

Sometimes everything you
need to know is surfing right on the lines
themselves. This is one of those times.
I’m not a complicated fellow.

I like pilsner and pizza and a good movie –
anything from 8½ all the way over to The
Meaning of Life, but I usually prefer
the book to the movie. Right now
I’m reading Atonement by Ian
McEwen.

For a while I co-edited a journal of popular culture we called Front Row Critics’ Circle. You will find a sample of my writing style elsewhere in this site (Dissertation Upon an Unroasted Pig) that was originally published in that journal. The other two samples are from an early website I created called Fifty Fables of the Fifties.

So, say “Howdy” and get to know me. In addition to words, I can show you three web sites I’ve designed. You can also find my resume if you want the dry, unadorned facts. You can even read a travelogue of a trip to England my wife, Sandy, and I took in 2002. Have fun and keep in touch.
