Steve Kowalski

Although Steve Kowalski is the Chief Technology Officer at a financial services company and has a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, his passion has always been in the arts. His path to writing has come through storytelling and spoken word and he frequently performs at shows in the Los Angeles area.

A Tale of Two Wallets

I found a wallet on a sidewalk in the Miracle Mile area of Los Angeles. I might have missed it if it wasn’t white, beautiful white leather reflecting the glow of a distant streetlight. I looked up and down the boulevard. Although lined with multi-story apartment buildings, it was completely empty and eerily quiet. It felt as if the entire city stopped what it was doing to watch my next move.
