That Depends…
Are you a good judge of character? In my youth and young adulthood? Definitely not; two failed marriages, religious cult associations, and near lifestyle induced death would seem to indicate. In my current phase of life, I’ve been much better at it, as my nearly 30-year relationship with my current partner and my small but…

Which Of The Multitude?
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. There have been so many, and let’s not forget the other half (more or less) of the population… And ‘positive’ is a matter of opinion. During my formative years, it was my dad. He was the one there and in control. So, I had no choice…

New Skills – No; Lessons, Well…
What skills or lessons have you learned recently? To paraphrase an old song: You can’t always get what you ask for, but sometimes you get what you need…; -) I’ve heard that there are no accidents or coincidences in life, only lessons. The problem I have with that is that it’s just another story (fiction)…

Too Many Times To Count
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Yes, and while I enjoyed the performing (locally, off and on for about 15 years), I ended up hating the ‘business’ aspects of performing (managers, bookings, marketing) and the whole ‘music scene’ of those times. I’ve also read some of my verses at different poetry…

Any Gentle Activities
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? There is a big difference in what I like now and what I thrived on in the past. I prefer walking, riding my recumbent, Tai Chi, gentle yoga, and a little archery. In the past, I loved working out for 2-3 hours in Judo (was a turnament…

Creative ‘Solutions’
What is something others do that sparks your admiration? What I admire is the creative solutions people find for our daily trials, troubles, and tribulations… While some are much better solutions than others (pragmaticly), I applaud everyones’ creative attempts … often, the only ‘sanity’ evident in our insane social constructs, castes, classes, hierarchies of injustice…

Cartoonish…
What’s your favorite cartoon? My favorite(?) cartoon is the one I witness daily… ‘modern life on planet earth’… Yes, I know, I’m supposed to take our zeitgeist seriously, but when I look at the ridiculousness of our daily lives in this ‘modern world’, I can’t help but chuckle (that is, when I’m not feeling just…

Like To Think It’s More Than Five
Share five things you’re good at. I like to think I’m good at anything I put my mind to… but that’s BS, and I know it, even though we all do it, at least to some extent. Well, there are those who seem to believe that they are good at nothing, and I’m truly sorry…

The Only Constant, Change…
What is one thing you would change about yourself? Nothing. I’ll continue to change and grow regardless of my personal wishes, anyway… I am, as are we all, the result (or consequence) of the ‘birth-lottery’ and a hundred-thousand years (at least) of evolution and our particular positions in the space-time continuum. We are fitted into…

To Meat Or Not
What are your feelings about eating meat? It’s complicated. I grew up in a ‘meat and potatoes’ household. Meat was part of almost every meal … That seems like a lifetime ago. Over the years, I kept hearing and reading how ‘red meat’ in particular, with all its hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives, was more detrimental…
