If newcomers could see
no joy or fun in our existence,
they wouldn't want it.
We absolutely insist on enjoying life.
So we think cheerfulness and laughter
make for usefulness"

And the lives of those to come."

Thank you for thinking of me. How great is the truth that "we" are all in this together. How great is the support when "What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular"! Kailani (Bay Area resident, Berkeley 1979-85)
Casey loved his family and friends, tattoos, cooking (he was about to go to culinary school in NYC) and music, lots of music! He played the guitar and drums and went to local indie rock shows with his brother, sis-in-law and friends every chance he got.
Thanks for being a friend and supporting Casey. He is missed so much.
When it comes time to choose- Have a designated driver, call a friend, call a cab or be a true friend and take the keys. There's too much to lose by drinking and driving.

Time is the author of all things. The rising of the sun the moon, the changing of the seasons~ Time is the great orchestrator of all growth, the allowing matrix of change~ Time is in every breath you take and every thought you think.
It holds the key to all your dreams~It's free and accessable to us all It is the great allower of birth for all our dreams. How we use it is the determing factor of our sucess.
