I guess here is where I am expected to be creative and witty. Well, my name is Scot with one 'T' and so I am accustomed to not having my name spelled correctly. The seventh of eight children, I was probably given this name so my parents could distinguish between all of us kids. Raised in LA, I had a great childhood. From sports to board games, I loved to do a lot of things, especially golf. Now, I still love golf but I have also come to enjoy reading and writing about things in works that the authors themselves didn't intend.
