An 86-year-old's unrepentant website!

This is not a serious website. It is an unserious website, a frivolous website. Its primary purpose is to amuse me. If it amuses you, you might be in as bad or worse shape psychologically than I. Or, you might be in as good or better shape psychologically than I. It depends on your point of view.

I am losing my mind to dementia, my body to old age. I don't like that, but that's the way the cookie is crumbling. I can't complain. It's been an interesting life. I traveled the world, every continent save Antarctica, around the globe both ways a number of times. The world was the playground: a favorite sidewalk cafe in Tel Aviv, a favorite sauna in Paris, a favorite nude beach in Sydney, and the many trips to Hong Kong when Kai Tak was the airport.

I've had my fun. I've had good luck and bad luck, extremes of both, but more good than bad. Bad luck to get involved with Christian fundamentalist religion when young, good luck to break out of that and come to be classed as an atheist. Bad luck to have married the wrong person the first time around, good luck to have married the best possible person the second time around. Bad luck to have had an engine failure in a single-engine airplane over Oregon's Cascade Mountains in the wintertime, good luck to have survived that (everybody else died) and gone on to being a 747 captain flying international routes.

I wish I had been a better son, brother, husband, father, and friend. I wish I had hurt fewer people than I did. I wish I had helped more people than I did. But those I helped I believe outnumber those I hurt. I've always preferred cooperation to confrontation.
