What's Next

Seeing The Future I now understand why one was given the gift to posses such knowledge and how to apply that knowledge properly and

justly . I can say that people have to be educated and informed and

knew I was different an did not fit in with all the kids. I knew there

was a reason why ? I had to suffer and got through so much in my

lifetime it was to become the great advisor and leader I… Continue

Reader comments are useless for ...

I just read some Internet restaurant reviews. Here is an example for a place in my town; I'm sure you've seen similar things on other web sites.

Anyway, I started thinking about anonymous Web site reviews, and I believe absolute anonymity creates credibility problems for such reviews, since for all we know:

Restaurant owners could be slagging their competition in these…

Theme and Variations: Etosha National Park and Schizoid States

Years ago I saw a documentary, "The Living Edens," broadcast on public television about Etosha National Park in Namibia, in Africa. I was enthralled by the show. Africa's Etosha is a vast and ancient land of seasonal paradox. During the blooming of the wet season, spring boks, elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, zebras and giraffe thrive. It is also an Eden that slowly disappears when heat, drought and thirst put all life at risk, except for the opportunistic vultures.…

nice

nice. reminds me of a time
we moved the furniture
all around the livingroom
for four hours
until finally
everything was back
whence it came.

notes to self

note:
on killer whales;
just because they haven't eaten you
doesn't mean they won't.
addendum ~
they aren't called 'killer' for nothing.

New epidemic—Failure to grow up

Bullies, vipers, haters, tattlers, whiners, passive-aggressives, and many more. Why is it that some adults find it close to impossible to grow up? Now I'm all about maintaining your inner child, holding on to your sense of wonder, and retaining (and enhancing) your ability to play. That's not what I'm referring to here.

I'm talking about people calling each other names because they are online and no one can reach over and give them a good dope slap. I'm talking about people who, faced… Continue

Meridian Hill Park After Dark

I've always dreamed of being a writer. When I was in Junior & Senior High I carried notebooks almost everywhere I went and wrote constantly. Those days seem like they were eons ago. Last year after having unexpected foot…

Was Jan Sibelius a First Rate Composer?

There is so much of Sibelius that I love. He certainly made a unique contribution to music. There's no mistaking the "Sibelius Sound."

But was he a first rate composer? I don't know.

I love the Fifth Symphony. I first heard it while I was in my third year of college, when I was 19 years…

Got any tricks up your sleeve?

A letter from my Uncle, with some interesting facts about Valentines day, & my Grandpa who I only met once..

Hi Kathy, Happy Valentine's Day to you also. Valentine's Day is really 

special to us because after we both had been divorced for about the same length 

of time, we met on Valentine's Day in 1988. From there on we were inseparable.





Historically, Dad did know a lot of tricks, some of which I've forgot, but
