<p>Foster’s not had a career but a series of jobs. He built and managed public libraries in<br />
rural West Virginia and North Florida. Later he led information management teams<br />
doing whatever it took to run offices for the federal government in greater DC. Recently,<br />
he took a leap out into the bright vast to write that book, at last. Now he is devoting<br />
several years to writing.<br />
His one true thing: the secret to life is balance. Extremism gets things done, but it<br />
ain’t restful. Aristotle got that right. The wisdom of balance in life arises from the physics<br />
of the universe - the force of your foot on the ground balancing your gravity. He has a<br />
white and black family and he approaches fatherhood like a satellite - forever falling<br />
toward the earth but never actually getting there. His wife, Genie, tells him he’s a good<br />
man and he takes her word for it.</p>
