Raymond John: Undertaker-Gertrude's Hearse

About Me

Raymond John or "R.J." as he was referred to in his younger years is the result of a long and hard life as santa, a muse, musician, friend, traveller, sailor, singer, photographer, dock installer, snowboarder, bartender, ski tech, sailing instructor, captain, undertaker, picker, dish washer, landscaper, skate park owner, painter, carpenter, lover, climber, writer, photographer, stunt man, racer, guitar teacher, student, kayaker, lab researcher, fan, sandwich maker, surfer, deli delivery driver, parasail boat driver, yacht salesman, auto parts dealer, husband, brother, elk hunting guide, skiier, world traveller, public speaker, divorcee, dog trainer, savior, car washer and roommate...not necessarily in that order. Once upon a time there was a boy, his best friend, and his dogs. They sailed the happy seas, walked the distant lands, developed lasting relationships with friends far and wide. They took chances, had fun, and escaped the ordinary. One night everything changed. In the morning there was only one left and the path back was long covered over by wind, sand, sea, dust, dirt, gravestones, and paperwork. It occured to him there was but a million things to do and 2 million ways to go about doing them. The boy thanked the good Lord for his sense of humor...
