Welcome to Sir Twazzler's World

"What does Sir Twazzler, mean?" - I can hear all mi Lords and mi Ladies proclaim as they enter this page. Many pardons, mi Lords and mi Ladies, but the explanation is of great length. The word-phrase "Twazzle?" I picked up from a DJ in Sarasota in 1975. I started using the term while in High School. One must realize the High School I attended is the only High School in the world which teaches circus as one of it's courses. "Twazzle?" was used as the single word interrogative replacement for "What?" or "Huh?" It caught on very fast. I have always been an inquisitive squire, and am always trying to find out why things are as they are. (You'll see some of these listed in Sir Twazzler's Wonders.) I added the "R" to the term which one could interpret to mean either, one who is a blundering idiot and totally confused or, one who is simply wondering about the daily obstacles which has to be negotiated in life. I adopted the name to represent the later definition, but I'm sure you'd get more to testify the earlier explanation is more fitting. The "Sir" part is not a testimonial that I have been accepted into Knighthood, but I couldn't fit Squire Twazzler in the spaces provided at the time for my AOL screen name.

I have three son's. #1 son is running about in Florida (34 years old), possibly trapping alligators for orthodontists to practice their apprenticeship in and about Gibsonton, Florida.  #2 son has reached the age of fighting that never ending battle: struggling to understand members of the opposite sex, engaging in sharp shooting the old man or simply battling over which front to focus.  He is 28 years old and is doing a fine job as a mechanic working for Toyota in Punta Gorda, Florida.   #3 son has finally realized that toes are for balance and fingers are for keyboards (he's 26). Don't tell him, but he has grown into a fine young man.  He completed his four year stint in the United States Navy and is serving now in the Naval Reserves.  He wants to someday open an internet café.

Yes, mi Lords and mi Ladies, I have participated in the games.
That's death match via modem play.
An old friend would bring some of his brew and we would share a few goblets.
Then he would pardon himself to his dwelling,
taking his brew with him and leaving me with only a full goblet.
We would death match idsoftware's Doom, Doom2 and Heretic.
Great modem games!

Okay, on the lighter side. I am a Registered Nurse who has spent 8˝ of the last 12 years working in Emergency Rooms.  I enjoy working in the Emergency Room, but I can't get to a day shift.  Night shift isn't for everybody and I've pulled most of my ER time on nights.  But it's not agreeing with my biorhythm any longer. Drinking all that caffeine probably didn't help either.  ER duty paid more, but I'll be happier with a day job.  The other 3-3˝ years I have been assigned to an Ambulatory Surgical Unit and worked in a nursing home.  I took some time off to overseeing the building of my new home and participate in graduate courses offered by Regis University's external degree program and The College Network using the internet.

I started my military career 6 days after completion of high school and stayed in the Army for the following 26 years and 28 days. I started out as a Field Medic. With successful completion of and receiving the coveted Expert Field Medical Badge, obtaining the Emergency Medical Technician Certification and being promoted to the rank of Specialist Five, I was accepted to attend the License Practical Nurse Course. As a Licensed Practical Nurse I have served as the Noncommissioned Officer in Charge for Nursing Education and Staff Development, Staff Nurse (LPN) in a community hospital's small Intensive Care Unit and Wardmaster of a 40 bed field holding ward and logistics hand receipt holder for 160 bed Holding Platoon and Troop Medical Clinic for a Main Support Battalion while serving in West Germany. I was privileged to have been accepted to the Army Medical Department's Enlisted Commissioning Program to complete my nursing degree at Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida (the crest at right is hyper linked to their homepage). After graduation, I surrendered the rank of Sergeant First Class to be sworn in as a Second Lieutenant, in the Army Nurse Corp (retired as Captain). In my 26 years in the United States Army, I have had the pleasure of serving in/at: Republica de Panamá; Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center (Aurora, Colorado); Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort Sill, Oklahoma; Fort Polk, Louisiana; Hanau, West Germany, West Point, New York and Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Fort Gordon, Georgia. I am very much interested in pre-hospital care and emergency room nursing. I take my role of being a patient advocate very seriously. I finally took the time to sit for and pass the Certified Emergency Nurse exam.  I am also looking into sole-proprietorship with a custom embroider business.  Please visit the link below.  The custom invitation scrolls and ring bearer's pillows are magnificent!  My nursing résumé is also linked below.
