Finding a way to do all those things I'd like to do but never do that doesn't interfere with all the things I'm doing right now.

my reading ablity ebbs and flows depending on my medication. Books about books are especially cool, "The professor and the Madman", spiritual books are interminable, boring and seem to repeat the same shit but I seem to keep reading them anyway. I guess I'm a bit thick when it comes to that stuff. I guess my fav's would be D.H. Lawrence, tom robbins, E.A. Poe, Sartre, Jack Miles, Schofield, Somerset Maugham..."a moon and six pence" being my Fav.
peace
Besides the obvious: Rick Flair, Boris Zuckoff and Dusty Rhodes I'd say Elwood Carlisle, "A FANTASTIC MAN", starting new careers at eighty is beyond cool, keep it up my grave ditcher friend. My family in a huge way and all the kids at Camp del Corazon.
