WELCOME

I spent forty plus years in radio and TV broadcasting, both “On Air” and as a production director. I am also a Photographer, Actor, Writer and most of all a believer that all life is precious. That this small globe we share deserves and needs our help to survive. And I believe, make that I know, that every living creature on this planet is a gift that must be taken care of and we as humans, and supposedly the more advanced form of life are the caregivers. That responsibility must be taken seriously.My life is devoted to many causes, none of which is my personal wealth, happiness or survival at the expense of any other living thing.

I own my own business, which involves blogging, photography and the restoration and transfer of video and 8mm film to DVD and vinyl records to CD. There is a page on the blog that will tell you all you need to know about why you should restore and preserve your old 8mm super 8 and VHS movies and transfer them to DVD. Which will add lifetimes of memories, before it is too late? I suspect in many cases Great Grandfather, or great Uncle Carbuncle’s pictures may already be faded and cracked around the edges. On this same page, you will find information about restoring and preserving your musical memories from old vinyl to new sounding CD’s. In addition, there is a page of random photography. You will find that much of what I write about is an attempt to bring insight and clarity to many of the ills that plague our society and our planet. However, in the links block you will find a link titled “The lighter side of the Sandman” and yes indeed there is one, sometimes my wife thinks I think too much and have simply blown a fuse and gone over the deep end, in a lovable harmless kind of way. In lighter side, which is just beginning ,you will find funny pictures, funny stories, some true, some made up out of the dusty recesses and vivid imagination of my mind; I will leave part of the fun being for you to figure out which is which.

After this brief introduction, there will be changes and growth as my mind expands more and more on what I want this entire blog package to be and since I am independent I have plenty of time to let my mind become the workshop of all types of flights of fancy. In addition, input is more than welcome and feedback is more than appreciated. I think input and feedback are different things, and if they are not they should be. For the purpose of fewer vagaries, we shall call input, the displaying of ideas, and feedback the imparting of great compliments or small complaints.

The fact that you may have just discovered this website does not mean that it is new, for I have been at work on it since I was eight and some of the ideas I had then I still have now. On the other hand, I have also been working on it for perhaps a thousand years and some of those ideas are just being realized. Imagine the fun an eight year old could have for a thousand years and all the mischief that could be created. Someone once told me that listening to my radio shows was “like peeking into a child’s playroom.” I was having such fun. I took that as a great compliment. Oscar Wilde wrote “Life is too important to be taken seriously” and I agree. However, I also believe that if we do not take our responsibilities to our fellow human beings, the other creatures sharing this planet, and most of the entire planet itself seriously, there will be no life to take seriously or have serious fun.

So then, what have we here between the cyber pages? I read something from a friend and fellow writer the other day about the art of valentine’s cards and how they used to be hand written and from the heart. Instead of mass produced by Mark Hall or Greta Greetings. And I thought in my mind, yes and probably done with quill pen and parchment paper. I sometimes think I was part of different times and places in many lives. I have a blog that lightly deals with that called “Yesterdays Life, Tomorrows Dream” it can be found here on these pages.
The writer referred to letters written from Simone de Beauvoir to Jean-Paul Sartre. This writer goes by the name of “The Boomer Muse” and a link to her excellent site can be found in the links block. Its great reading.

Anyway, let us come as close as possible in making this technology seem like a quill pen and parchment paper, from the serious aspects of everyday life to the seriousness of seriously having everyday fun. You will know that what I write comes from a true heart and mind. You may not always agree with me but I doubt you could ever question my sincerity.

Now what did I do with that quill pen I think the parchment paper has dried from the spilled wine.

Comments or questions are welcome.
