  1. Any nicknames? None. In fact, never.
  2. Mothers name: None of your business
  3. What is your favorite drink? Water. With booze: A semi-dry white wine or a good ol' gin&tonic
  4. Tattoos? None. I've thought about it but can't decide what I'd like permanently drawn on me for the rest of my life.
  5. Body piercing? None. Sounds too - fussy. Risk of infection crap and all that.
  6. How much do you love your job? A lot. In fact, I'm surprised I still love what I found to do over 17 years ago.
  7. Birthplace: Long Beach, California - because that was the closest hospital
  8. Favorite vacation spot? None. I rarely like to go back to the exact same place, unless it's to visit someone.
  9. Ever been to Africa? No, but when I was younger I wanted to go. The desire has decreased.
  10. Ever eaten cookies for dinner? Sure.
  11. Ever been on TV? No.
  12. Ever steal any traffic signs? No, but wanted to. My German teacher in high school had a long one from Wales he'd pilfered while on vacation there and I thought that was rather cool. Tourists in Norway steal "moose warning" signs a lot.
  13. Ever been in a car accident? A couple of small ones.
  14. Was it your fault? None of them were.
  15. Salad dressing? Blue cheese!
  16. (Tim omitted this one, understandably) A, B, C, D, DD cup size? B/C
  17. Favorite pie: Pumpkin.
  18. Favorite number: None. I'm with Tim. What's with having favorite numbers?
  19. Favorite movie: Oh, man... Decisions, decisions. I can't pick one.
  20. Favorite holiday: None. They're all different, and I like them all for that reason.
  21. Favorite dessert: None. I'm not a dessert person.
  22. Favorite food: Spaghetti.
  23. Favorite day of the week: Friday. Everybody's happy and I feel free because it's the start of the weekend.
  24. Favorite brand of body soap: None. I'm not brand loyal.
  25. Favorite TV Show: Decisions, decisions. Meh, OK, here's one: Law & Order.
  26. Favorite toothpaste: Sensodyne Whitening. Right, you've heard of that. It's for sensitive gums, has no triclosan (anti-biotic) or that something-laureate that makes it foam but that can irritate mouths and is mildly bleaching (not that I've noticed on my teeth). So that's why.
  27. Favorite smell? Roses!
  28. What do you do to relax? I drink a cup of calming herbal tea or maybe do some yoga.
  29. Do you have a message to your friends reading this now? Thank you for reading this far. :-)
  30. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Oh, I hate these kinds of questions. I don't even know where I'll be in 10 minutes! I assume I'll still be working and living right where I am. I have no reason not to.
  31. What do you do when you are bored? I am rarely bored.
  32. Ever been in love only to have your heart broken? Sure, but I usually do the breaking (up).

I've lived long enough to know that trouble is a distraction from fun.

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
