About Me
Make my living as a teacher. I'm a sometime actor, director, producer, writer, storyteller. I'm a husband, father, step-father, grandfather, middle-aged, middle-class, white male and I am not about to apologize for any of that. I have enough other stuff that I'm sorry for, such as my lack of parenting skills as evidenced in my fractured relationships with (some) of my fractured children, now adults (at least chronologically).Life, however, goes on, he wrote failing to avoid a cliche. I live in paradise, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas on 15 wooded acres right next door to one of my all time musical heroes and great friends.I like to grow things. I'm definitely slowing down. I go a day at a time. I try to make sense of my dreams. My memories are at once too intense and fading. I'm at last getting tired of over-dramatizing everything, perhaps because there is so much real drama, like health, universal cruelty and indifference, the hypocrisy of US culture in relation to itself and various repressive regimes, most notably China, the coming world ruler.In my next life I want a strong healthy back and to be a professional musician.Off coffee again, at least for a while. Feeling better, but man I miss it. But the gut says "Help me, help me!" And I am tired of distress (on every level).
