Random Thoughts - Identity Crisis

In case you didn't already know, Sid Stein is just my pen name. I adopted it before I went on the radio the first time to discuss my as yet unpublished book, "A Little on the Side." I wanted to give my children plausible deniability. I didn't want them to have to deal with a father who wrote a book about how to get away with cheating. Anyway, it's not bad having two identities. There are even people who know me only as Sid Stein. The other day, however, I woke up, looked into the mirror and wasn't happy with what I saw. In my real life, I have all sorts of problems. Bills to pay, an ex-wife to deal with, crazy women. The list goes on and on. On the other hand, I love being Sid Stein. Only one problem. Sid Stein is a fictional character.
