<p>Woody Weingarten, who can be reached atwoodyweingarten.com or voodee@sbcglobal.net, can’t remember when he couldn’t talk — or play with words.</p>
<p>His first poem was published in high school, but after graduating from college, he switched to journalism. And whadda ya know, the bearded guy has used big, small and hyphenated words professionally ever since jumpstarting his career in New Yawk City more than 60 years ago.</p>
<p>Today, the author of the book Rollercoaster is also a reviewer-critic, blogger and publisher — despite allegedly being retired.</p>
<p>The father of two and grandfather of three, he and his wife, Nancy Fox, have lived in San Anselmo, California, for more than three decades. He figures they’ll stay.</p>
