Places I've been

as Leon Russel wrote: "...I was born in a crossfire hurricane...," one place called "Zion" to some, and I'm not a member of the CJCLS: We all got along like little brothers and little sisters. For the rest: mostly...U.S.A. (et. al.)

More about me

 I seek ... dare I suggest, on "the Internet," with it's vast, awesome indifference, (at best?), danger(?) at worst(?)...friendship, counsel -- especially w/in this august body, the warm tolerance and quiet(?) passion, but more: "experience" that this, sometimes loving body should have.  [Plus some fun!] Please throw in a little reality: minus the irrationality.

As Poe, once wrote: "I [was CALLED, (treated-for, etc.)]...quite mad." (My punctuation.) I was "aware" of things that seemed "impossible," and I got into my share of trouble. Horrible things, like, "not cleaning my room," and "saying the wrong things in public," and of course the ever-popular "mistakes of youth."  I say this not to spread a perjorative(?) and small part, an incomplete part, of my overall makeup, but so that you can say, or know: "You heard it from me." I've done time in the puzzle house, I take pills and so on,(shots).  I am not sneaking around the Intenet, etc., and if you met me, you wouldn't know I was "nuts."  (lol: Some days I don't have enough time, and my life appears more boring, to others, than anything.)  I don't know if this is proper netiquette, but I've heard there're are a lot of nuts out there, and I ain't one of the "bad" ones.  Call me "touched," call me "irresponsible;" just don't call me late for dinner!!!!  (lol) 

What "practical" means in this old world, I'm not quite sure.

I think Billy Graham, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Gandhi," Mother Teresa, Begin and Sadat(sps????) -- men/women of faith, "knew something."  In the main, I enjoy life, roll w/the punches(if I have to), and have reached the age where I would give counsel, as well as seek it, and fun, among my peers.  I've been "out in the trenches" a long time. (Myown fault: hubris, at least.)

I feel I have some things to contribute, and, probably like most new Eons members hope that I won't make too many mistakes. In the past, I've committed enough errors for a lifetime!!!! (And man have I paid for what most of the time were "minor" mistakes, mostly "mistakes in ignorance.")  Like most good people, I will try to put out my own fires.  As my Dad says, "I only make BIG mistakes!"

As I wrote, in Eons, somewhere: "FORGIVENESS" goes a long way w/me, and I've rarely met a stranger!  (At about 19 I hiched all over the US, and hopped freights: Can kids do that, now?)

Please send me your thoughts, advise, comments, and any "contact" potential ideas, etc.  "IF"--Kipling?Lawrence?"... I can walk w/kings, nor lose the common touch...," is my goal, here.  (Along w/ a lot of FUN!)

Your (potential) "contact," a man w/an open mind,

Lord, love a duck!!!!

And: "God bless us, every one," (Tiny Tim -- "A Christmas Carol" -- Charles Dickens, author), 'cause we, all, need it!!!!" -- moi 

Ps: As of January,2009, I've been keeping up w/my blog, obviously illustrating that I am "a-work-in-progress," and have added some, new, photos: Enjoy!!!!(Live "abundant"ly.)

And maybe, while you're having fun: Keep your ear to the wind.
