Now that you are over 50, what are you doing that you never thought you would?

Nothing I can mention on this forum. OK, so that's not such a funny joke. I tried tho! I'm still practicing some of my songs and some of my favorite tunes to play for friends. I'm alive - and like Mickey Mantle said: "If I'd known I was gonna live this long I'd have taken better care of myself." I'm still learning - every day I learn something. I've learned a lot of different ways that healing can occur for a wide variety of different "incurable" conditions.

What organizations do you belong to?

I am one of the founding members of the International Procrastination Society - well, I will be once we register it >>> probably next year. Actually, I agree with Groucho: "I don't care to belong to any club that would have me as a member."

Where were you born?

I was born in an Osteopathic Hospital in Akron, Ohio the same year that many newborns (in incubators throughout the country) were given 100% oxygen which resulted in blindness. I was not premature (for once), and I was not put into an incubator. I feel like "There but by the grace of God go I." (which pertains to virtually ANY human condition).

What is your favorite picnic food?

BBQ & Coleslaw
