Arranging my life's pace to be in sync with my garden's growth. Astrology. Learning. Listening. And, like my friend Rabindra Danks does so ably: be in this moment.
Music
Blues, Jazz, N'Orleans funk and the sound of my wife and son's voices on the telephone
Movies
Lawrence of Arabia, A Soldier of Orange, Blue Velvet, and any film by Jeffery Lengyl.
Television
I like TV for documentaries and sports. The Science Channel rocks! After that, I like: a Good, season long study of college football and watching our current politicians get busted for lieing, stealing and trading whores in the back seats of their limos! They're such whores themselves.
Books
Most recent: Sex Wars by Marge Piercy: good post Civil War novel. "Self Made Man" by Norah Vincent and reccomending "My Lives" by Edmund White. Favorite writers: Jim Harrison, Tom McGuane, Carl Hiaason, Edmund White. And all time favorites would be: the Life of Pi, Ancient Futures, Blood Meridian, Ruthless Leadership, Ancient Futures, Glimpse After Glimpse, Hyperspace, On The Road, and recently any book by Luis Alberto Urrea.
Heroes
anyone who persistantly pursues friendliness and compassion against the shit we occasionally to move through. And, exactly: my wife, sons and friends for their unconditional love.

About me: I am a grown up man. Married for 33 years, with three amazing sons and a life (lives) lived, but way not complete. I've worked as a newspaperman, football coach, TV commercial actor and brand model, created a swanky blues club in London's Covent Garden, worked as a criminal defense associate, PR guy, Montana horse wrangler, commercial photographer, and now work with Thunderdog Studios (www.thunderdogstudios.com) on their brilliant toy manufacturing projects.
I've been broke, out of luck and in despair more than once. I out grew a couple of nasty strokes and a lot of bad habits. Best of my life has been (and still is) the relationship my sons and I have augered. My best friends, greatest supporters and dearest hearts are my sons.
I like to think. and wonder. I worry way less now that I know nothing is solid: everything (everything) is always tilting, rocking and morphing into something else. I find comfort in that. Dig it, really. This knowlege and the fact that nobody's responsible for your life but you changes all sorts of shit. Being older rocks really good. I give a shit about a whole lot less (and a whole lot more) now at 65.
If I have a moral rudder it is: cultivating friendliness and compassion. That, and this: Never Quit no matter the opposition.

Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet my grand children on a beach in the Caribbean, where we'd have the time to sit and wonder together, catch some warm rays, nap and swim some. I'd like to meet you, too. Who are you, anyway, reading this right now? What's your life story?
My man!!! When times are tough I think of you and everything just seems to be ok all of a sudden. My life is forever awaken from our tea time. DRIVE FAST AND TAKE CHANCES!
I only had the plessure of working with you for a brief time, but I am happy to had the small amount of time have known the man behind the stories - much love to the Eatons! Love Eli
May we all learn from your amazing lust for life, indomitable spirit, and unflappable friendship... I know you will always be with those who's lives you touched - just glad to have been one of them!
Hey Uncle Randy. Your big smile warms my heart every time I see it! Miss your bear hugs. I will try to visit you over the holidays. You and your family are forever in my prayers...Jason
