This, of course, is the famous command from The Day The Earth Stood Still. It loosely translates to "Gort, stop!" Gort being the lead alien who was hell bent on taking over the world. If I’m not mistaken, I believe Gort means George in English. I saw...

No, I’m not writing about The Monkee’s song. As great as it is. I’m writing about the Cosmic Trigger Event happening next Tuesday, October 17, 2006. Fascinating. How do people figure this stuff out? What makes them look? I’m not clear on that...
Oct 9, 2006 | God, what a world!, Political Blah-Blah, Theatre
Yesterday was the last day of the play (scroll down to page three – my name in cyberspace) and, as usual after a run, I feel like my life is my own again. Theatre: can’t live with it, can’t live without it. Like chocolate… So today, I’m...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Pink is the order of the day. My Aunt Susie, my mom’s baby sister, died of breast cancer at the age of 49. My sister in law, Megan, 40, has been fighting the beast for 8 years now. She is losing the battle, but God what...

I turned 51 today. Emily never will. She was killed in Iraq on my cousin Celia’s 51st birthday two weeks ago, September 12. Like reading the names on the Key West AIDS memorial, like reading about those killed 9/11, painful as it may be, we must read about Emily...
Sep 24, 2006 | Drug War, Political Blah-Blah, UNCLE BRIAN 'N AIN'T PEG
Uncle Brian is Hal’s baby brother by seven years. Too far apart in age to hang out during their formative years, they now enjoy each other’s company immensely. When they work on a project together, like the treehouse at the farm, they refer to themselves...

Next Thursday is my birthday. I’m a Libra. Libras are the beautiful and just people in the world, for those of you who do not know me. Please, don’t send presents. (If you must, please don’t spend over $50.) Or money. It will just get lost in the...
Sep 19, 2006 | Culture Shock, Key West, Political Blah-Blah, Schools, Teenagers
As parents of two teens, we are keenly interested in schooling and the future of the current teen population. Mostly in Costa Rica and the U.S., but around the world, as well. These teens will be our leaders, shaping our world’s future, good or bad. In charge of...
