About Me

"Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others."
"If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time."
I love Spain, fireworks, uncensored creative expression, self-mockery, people with insane musical talent, silliness, fine wines, the ocean/ Sea, speedboats (all boats - as I grew up living on them), surrealist art, the rain, Disneyland, people who know how and when to get into a left turn lane, filth (when in context and appropriate), traveling, sangria, dry humour, laughter, open space, water, time alone, dancing, Puerto Banus circa 1981-1987, and my chosen family of great friends..and most recently have developed a LOVE for Portland, Oregon! - Go Blazers!
Not so keen on seafood, or eating any by-product thereof! Regret saying I ever wanted Sympathy (c.1999) when Strength is so much more desirable, and not just physical (although, very appealing) Spiritual and Mental too! I am painfully shy, which I work very hard to hide with quick wit, and shocking comments, (this is misinterpreted constantly as over-confidence . . . can't win!). No time for LIARS, the duplicitous, shallow, or facile.

Do you think the world is getting crazy - or is it just me?

It's obvious things are getting very strange when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is acc...
