Ghostwriter, Stunt Double, Freebooter For Hire...

The Current Threshold... ©Bennett Barthelemy

Taking the opportunity to post the resume... A two month sojourn spending all my ducats thusly requires a reality check at the far side, back end post return... 

Relocation to Boulder Colorado looms on the collective horizon with its 300 days of sunshine and good climbing options... 

If anyone out there in cybersphere has or knows of work that doesn't require selling of necessary body parts or too much soul depletion I am all ears... Trigger happy ghostwriting, stunt doubling, freebooter for hire...
