About me:
Intense, talented, wise cracking artist/writer/self-publisher with college degree (mild-mannered commercial debt collector by day). Raising 13 year old daughter (apple of my eye). Born in Ca., grew up "back east" in northwestern CT, upstate NY, and southwestern Mass., interested in internet publishing & guerilla marketing, real estate investment, advanced sales & persuasion techniques, self-improvement systems and many other fascinating things (hummingbirds, unexplained mysteries such as Ideagasms, cats, etc.).
Have done many fascinating things in my life: toured with the Grateful Dead (emphasis on northern Ca.); skiied throughout New England and waterskiied in the Gulf of Mexico; worked with illegal immigrants picking pecans in an orchard by the San Pedro River in Cascabel, Arizona (where I also lived on a hippie commune in the mid-70s); had madcap adventures from Harvard Square to Miami Beach to Fisherman's Wharf; collaborated with some amazing, world-renowned artists...and I plan many more interesting events for the future! Am widely read, like children, pets, intelligent genuine non-pseudointellectual people, mountain climbing and biking, critics-darling type movies, massive amounts of music, art from the Greeks to Giotto to Jack Kirby and Andy Warhol...and the deep mysteries of Osho (for initiates only)...
"Existence is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be lived. And you should be perfectly aware what the difference is between a mystery and a problem. A problem is something created by the mind; a mystery is something which is there, not created by the mind. A problem has an ugliness in it, like disease. A mystery is beautiful. With a problem, immediately a fight arises. You have to solve it; something is wrong, you have to put it right; something is missing, you have to supply the missing link. With a mystery there is no question like that. The moon arises in the night.... It is not a problem, it is a mystery. You have to live with it. You have to dance with it. You have to sing with it, or you can be just silent with it. Something mysterious surrounds you."
- Osho
“If you think you know what the hell is going on, you're probably full of shit...Belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence...Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission.”..
- Robert Anton Wilson
"Work while the day lasts, because the night of death cometh when no man can work."
- Bob Dylan

As I Wait
By listening to the sounds
carried on the breeze,
feeling the warm eddies
of air dancing nearby,
I know what season is in the air.
I shall not wait, my love,
to sow seeds
at the Harvest moon,
for I wish to be early
at your door.
I will stand there patiently
just to see your beauty
emerge into view.
If I missed our date
or was a moment too late
to see the love in your eyes,
I would weep forever more.
I must appear a forlorn sight,
as I wait, unflinching,
day and night, hunger
fighting for my attention.
The scent of your heavenly perfume
reaches my eager senses
long before I see
the door knob turn.
