“For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life.  But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.  Then life would begin.  At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”

I now present to you my updated and “cleansed” website.  It’s been approximately 2 years since my last blog entry, which means that photo albums, quotes, and Different Strokes products have also been at a standstill.  Please be patient with me as I continue to update and refresh all that I have to say and show.  I welcome input and cherish requests!

“But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because 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!’”

P.S. A special thanks goes out to my sister Katie who inspired me to get my act together and make this site a place of life and joy instead of allowing it to continue its existence of guilt and sorrow.
