Introduction Born under the sign Gemini in 1968, early on I witnessed via television the end of a Presidency (Nixon ’74), then the pullout (Saigon in ’75). Learning to ski in ’75 (Homewood Mtn. Resort), I was exposed to the wondrous freedom that America has to offer and how utterly precious America is to me, my family, my community and my country. I’ve lived in Coastal CA, Central Valley CA, Lake Tahoe CA, Europe (primarily France), and now the Bay Area. I’m a liberal conservative Independent registered in CA. My entire presidential voting record is, Bush ’88, Clinton ’92, abstain ’96, Bush ’00, Bush ’04. I voted for the ’03 Recall, selecting Arnold Schwarzenegger. I believe in equality for all in what is the greatest country in the world. Allah-Christ-Jehovah-God Bless the USA! I am not paid by anyone or anything…I simply write what is, through my lenses.

Favorite Movies Citizen Kane, Giant, Raiders of the Lost Ark (whole series), Rebel Without a Cause, Apocolypse Now, Thin Red Line

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?

Never! I would live my life full out in a constant state of conciousness.
