Just a middle aged hippie, nerd, injun, radical, activist, would be philosopher tryin to shed a little light in the shadows. Though there's a lot of serious stuff on here, especially in my articles - philosophy and contemplation and life the universe and everything - I love to laugh. My sense of humor is about as off-beat as my philosophy sometimes in a Farside meets Doonsebury meets Mark Twain kinda way. We human critters are as funny as we are tragic and as silly as we are sublime. As the aforementioned Mr. Twain once said, "When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." It may not be as simple as that....but then again......
About my articles: These are mostly columns I've written over the last 4 years or so. They ran in a couple of small newpapers. The column is entitled "The Briar Philosopher". I hold the copyright on all the material so feel free to send them along to anyone you think might want to/need to read them.

Hey You!! What;s going on with you? Did I scare you? Did I hurt you? Did I do something stupid? What's going on? And don't tell me that it's you...I know better! *grinning* Remember that there's no bullshitting allowed between us...so tell me what's going on. You have my numbers -- BR 549!
I hope this finds you well as I've wondered what ever happened to you....and your mom. You'd be happy (NOT) to know that my first wife and my three natural kids all moved into 128 Morgan Street after you guys left....well, about ten years or so after you'd left. Mildred (the first wife) wondered "how did I become so familiar about her home seeing how I'd never been in it?" When I told her that "But I HAVE....haven't you felt my prescense in these rooms? How about the kitchen? Or the living room? And have you ever heard Celtic music late at night when your TV set is off and the kids are all asleep?"
She thought I was crazy....but I told her about the crack in the bedroom in the far back of the home....where Joe and I used to sack out at from time to time. I made a believer from her in that matter...
Anyhow...I'm GLAD you found me...it seems that I have been running into a lot of people from my past in the few months since I've been back from Iraq. Some of this has been great....others were not.
You have my email address...if you don't, it's really easy....it's the name I'm known by online for the most part -- settummanque -- at yahoo. Fill in the blanks and update me....and send me a photo or two and I'll do the same. And what ARE you doing in Florida anyways, Little Eagle? *smiling*
