David enjoys coaxing language into pleasing arrangements. He makes rather good sandwiches, he's told, and his chili recipe gets appreciative nods from friends. The Calendar of Fools uses him mercilessly for design and technical handwaving duties. He makes things appear online, has words in books and on screens, has an award or two sitting on shelves, and can be found lying prone in general apathy at davidelsensohn.com. He lives in Los Angeles with an inspirational wife and the ghost of a curmudgeonly black cat.
