Welcome. On this blog things get a little more personal. This is where I chronicle my struggles and triumphs, my attempts to better myself and my world, my poetry, my prose, my bike rides, my travels, my day-to-day activities.  If you want to know more about Andy Posner--that amalgamation of poet and monk--you’ve come to the right place.  So have a look around, and enjoy the opportunity to learn what goes on inside my mind--only beware, my mind is quite a place!
