Update: Weather is starting to turn pretty warm.

Go read a book for Pete's sake! Check out the link to Popmatters.com On my 'Out There' Blog. There's a new author, to me at least, and a new book review of an American Western called: "Day Out Of Days" :by author, Sam Sheppard.

About me

Born along time ago in a distant land, rejected formal education. Just like my forebeares. Four Bears? Young at heart, I find that my interest lie in helping others. Places I've learned about, been and liked... Almaden, CA; San Francisco, CA; Chicago, IL; New York City, NY. Never travelled outside the U.S. Except if you include a drive to Ensenada, Baja Cali., 1971 ...I don't; commercially the state of California owns that stretch of appendage to the South. Beautiful and educating trip in a 1970 Mazda RX7. (A Wankel-Rotary engine bright yellow 4 door sedan). When people get to know me better, they discover an edge. I think I got it in NYC. I'm not as edgy as the people on the East Coast are, and I would never step over someone on a street, either because I was too self absorbed or afraid of being sued. So, sioux me. My temperment's been mellowed over time and the influence of living on the West Coast. I'd say I have a soft edge. I guess it balances out while livin' lovin' and laughin' in the USA.

My work

I've had 3 part-time jobs since March 09. First, selling a product at Berkeley and Jensen's Wholesale stores called 'A Touch of Honey' Skin Conditioner its one in a line of quality, products made by the Thentix company of Canada. They have a website, http://www.selectmarketing.us and offer information, items for sale and Avon type distributorships to interested sales people. Its really nice stuff. This is an unsolicited testimony of an unpaid representative who is not a professional actor, but had a line in the Jackie Gleason/Tom Hanks 1987 movie; 'Nothing in Common' Check it out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_In_Common The television version, not DVD or VHS. Somehow in those I ended up on the cutting room floor. Tom's line was "I gave at the office". To which I replied, "I bet you gave at the office". It was genuine enough, I didn't know Tom and didn't see any camera around. Take my word for it, its not a brag, just a funny life experience. Jackie Gleason was sensational. People poured out into Chicago's 1 Federal Plaza to just get a glimpse of him.
