About Me


thanks for stopping by ,and to all that have allowed me to be a friend and share your space thanks,I'm a native Angelano,spend my early days roaming around California,born in the year of the Goat,some say I've a monkey mind ,professionally I'm a Alaskan Fisherman,envolved with the pollock, cod,and crab fishing in the the Aleutain Chain( the Aleuts call this the "birthplace of the winds"),the Bering Sea,the Gulf of Alaska.What started as a youthful adventure ,has
became a 30 year journey in one of the most awesomely beautiful yet harshest places on the planet.Everyday I awake and look around in wonderment at the place I'm able to work in .Ken Kesey once said that he thought alaskan fishermen had the freest lifestyle in america,I'll buy that.When not in alaska I have a home in Seattle that looks like a small farm house in the middle of the city ,with a garden that is my constant companion and love full of roses, exotic bulbs,japanese maples,vines,stonepaths, Bamboo's and magnolias , and two Bouvier De Flanders dogs (freya and buckley) who think I'm Buddha , a longtime partner Stephani who I think is the Buddha,she is my hero.I've traveled alot ,and find traveling one of few things I'm truly good at.A Restless Heart has taken me to Europe ,Asia(Hong Kong , Bali,Thailand,Japan,Tiawan,Korea,Singapore) South America(PeruMachuPichu,Galapogos,Lake Titicaca,Ecudor,Columbia,Venezuela,Trinda,Tabago) ,and sailing most the north pacific Thru Alaska , Far-East Russia ,and Japan.Happy to hear from you all.If you don't hear back from me it's because I'm at sea or my connection down a long wire down a long dock to my boat is to slow while I'm in Alaska thanks PEACE..

"There is something inherently liberating about getting on the Internet. There has been demonstrated a cultural infection in Internet use that is more powerful than the infections that others bring to it. And I place a great deal of faith in what's going to happen in society when more people are .. and fewer people are watching television."~John Perry Barlow

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." "

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" -Kerouac

Music:

I can't remember anything like it," says Ken Kesey, the post-hipster novelist (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) and slegendary ingester of psychedelic substances, who paints his old friend in heroic strokes. "Not Elvis, not John Lennon. The Beatles were great, but they were a studio band. And Elvis was great, but he was a good ole boy, not a revolutionary. Jerry has been a revolutionary, a warrior, as long as I've known him. He battled for the American soul, out there on the edge of a dangerous frontier--battling the forces of the Grinch, the forces of darkness. It was a typical old flower-child battle for the forces of good and mercy and gentleness and mischief. You can't work that frontier without getting into some danger now and then. The dire wolf finally got him.

"You need music, I don't know why. It's probably one of those Joe Campbell questions, why we need ritual. We need magic, and bliss, and power, myth, and celebration and religion in our lives, and music is a good way to encapsulate a lot of it." Jerry Garcia"It's one of the last places in this society, in this culture, that you can disapear into and not be found -Bob Weir, Grateful Dead,Bach John Cage,Philip Glass,Thelonious Monk,John Zorn,Frank Zappa,Jimi Hendrix,Jerry Garcia,
