I've been living a carefree life, for more than three years. I visited all 50 states and got stranded in San Francisco for a month. I wandered around most of Europe's big cities on three extended trips. Multiple trips to Gotham and Boston. Flying to Florida, for the weekend, on a whim. Unlimited TV and video games. Countless days staying up to watch the sun rise. Waking up for the 2PM alarm. Soaking past pruning in the hot tub. Patiently waiting for the last drop to fall from the Macallan bottle. Being the oldest guy at last call (I thought this sounded cool). Laughing as the school bus announces the start of the day. Rolling over and going back to sleep. Asking for a breakfast menu just before the dinner crowd starts to arrive. Knowing the closing time of local restaurants, because you've called for 'lunch' after they've closed for the day. Scheduling all appointments for late in the day, because you can't guarantee anything before noon (But if you need me at 3AM - count on me).
I really miss my dad. Its been a long haul dealing with the grief from his passing. When my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why my dad was so depressed. It took him a long time to return to his normally upbeat attitude. It took me a few years to return to my normally upbeat attitude, after my father passed away.
On my soul searching journey to all 50 states, in 2005, this video was played on the plane as it arrived in Honolulu. It brought tears to my eyes. Some were in sadness for IZ and some were from joy from being so lucky to live a carefree life.
A picture I took, while visiting Hawaii. Its one that I am proud of.
Here are some pictures from this past summers travels
I've started editing videos that I filmed.
Traveling can be stressful:
This tree stood at the corner of my house. I was so confidant in Tom's abilities, that I didn't even move my classic car out of the carport.
Fun loving people from near and far.
May 11, 2007: One down - fifteen to go
I was in NY today. I had tickets to see a taping of Conan.
I had a wonderful time in studio 6A. Before the show, Conan came out to get us pumped. He pointed at me and told me to dance with him. Of course I did. And then he and I hugged for a moment - a moment too long. He told me to hug Max Weinberg and of course we both ran to each other and hugged. Pretty Silly! Max gave me a pair of drumsticks to help me remember the zany antics. The cameras weren't running, so there is no proof.
Except for the other 220 people.

Don't worry about the warning message, its just letting you know that you are proceeding to a site outside of MySpace.
Thanks to tivo, theres always something on that I want to watch. Comedy, Late Night talk shows, Travel, History, PBS, ... No Drama, Lifetime or Reality shows.
Imagine what would happen if we all stopped paying for (watching) the ads on TV. My Tivo saves me 20 minutes for every hour of TV I watch, by allowing me to fast forward past them.
(Why can't I put an image in this section?)
History and mystery are my favorites.
Island Hopping then South
