This blog has many elements and depending on your interests, may pique your imagination...or not. I urge you to be unreasonable. Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. The unreasonable persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves, therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people. The more unreasonable you are, the more likely you are to enjoy this blog. All men dream, but not equally.
If you're a socialist or a Marxist, you'll find that I poke fun at your absurd notions of "good government" on a regular basis. So you might not wish to follow this blog because you'll be offended.
John Locke said, "One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant." I like what Locke said. We can't theorize without adequate information because when we do we inevitably twist facts to suit theories rather than theories to suit facts. In this blog and in my life, I try to maintain this perspective.
Either you believe in our essential spark of shared divinity, or you succumb to our human insecurity. Either way your conscience lets you slice it, the main thing is to earnestly do what is right at the time.
Today, I balance work and play as much as anyone can. All things remaining equal, play is more important. Life is short - it's important to make every day count for something, if only to yourself.
I'm a former tinker/tailor/soldier/sailor who has now decided that maybe it really wasn't all done for nothing.

I've been busier than ever. And yet somehow, I still manage to find the

Those pics turned out well. You both look remarkably healthy for New Yorkers. Ah. Must be all of that CA sunshine.
Everyone we spoke to so far in NY, expressed a profound wish to be living in CA.
The women, "wish they all could be California girls".
Very nice photos indeed! And not all girls, some of us ladies too, wish we could be California girls!
Great pictures! I'm sure it's an unforgettable trip.
Nice shots. To say ought else would be like shooting doves over a baited field.
Your daughter ALWAYS looks great. Lucky Daddy.
