Lucky!

Dave Brunstein (Lucky) at Aloha Lake in the Desolation Wilderness. July 2004
Dave (Lucky) is coming to visit over the Labor Day weekend. That is great news. He and I, and hopefully Jeff (Green Machine), will go for a hike at Point Reyes and Dave and I will do some web work.
What kind of web work, [...]

From Materialism

We are what we do; not what we have.
I think this is true.
Walk well. God is love.

Old Men Walking

So. My downhill neighbor’s name is Bob. A friendly fellow. Grew up in south Texas. He and his wife, Jan, moved in at the beginning of the year. Bob is a most willing recipient of fresh vegetables and a contributor of fresh fruit. A good neighbor. Today he saw me in the garden and asked [...]

Surfin’

Wow. I was looking at articles about World War II and came across this.

Sing along:
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smilin’ through
Just like you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say hello
To the folks that I know
Tell them [...]

Class Will Tell

Walk well. God is love.

Horrors of War

I have been looking at my strong feelings about Republicanism. The titles I use and the florid, purple language I have written. No apologies. I wrote what I thought was true. Still think is true.
I asked myself why I feel so strongly. Part of it is the sense of perspective from a long study of [...]

Republicans Are Revolting IV

The Revolution in California has succeeded in crippling state government. That is one of the neocon principles: destroy government by fiscal castration.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has insured poverty, pain, and ignorance on the part of the citizens of California. It is an outrage against civilization. As President Obama heroically struggles to optimistically insist that there is reason [...]

Old Man Learning

I began looking for a way to lose weight some years ago. And did not trust any of the commercial methods I knew of. Deciding to set up a site for people like me, I searched the Internet for information. And came across cyberdiet.com. It was started by someone who is now a friend [...]

You ’merican?

Hong Kong 1969.
I was on a rest and recuperation (R & R) from Vietnam. Morning visits to the tailor the officers of our battalion used there. Indian Jews in China. Very cosmopolitan for a Texas boy.
One of the world’s great cities.
I headed downstairs forty years ago and hailed a taxicab. Got in the back seat [...]
