...in the strangest of places if you look at it right

I am a public school principal.
My love, nay, adoration, of what the Dead experience gave to me is a full fledged part of my daily interactions with kids, parents, teachers and fellow administrators. I enjoy the ride, never take myself too seriously, look for the best in the worst, make light out iof dark and try to be a prankster whwnever I can. Kids are usually a bit freaked out by my genuine joy that I try to bring every day and they always get a chuckle when they come to my office and I have my i-tunes playing in the background.

I love the opportunty to show kids that open mindedness is important and that every body brings a little something to the party and that, my friends, is what makes the gig so much fun!!!

Whenever kids ask me to signe their yearbooks I always write the same thing, a quote from Hunter Thompson:
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!"

Have a wonderful day!

It's great to see you too!

I had no idea I'd run into you here--but no real surprise I guess, being dead.net and all...

I'm still in Idyllwild, not too far from you. I did a just over a year at the newspaper in Palm Springs, then landed this gig which allows me to telecommute--sure beats all that driving and heat!

Did you make the Rat Dog show on 6/28? at Fantasy Springs Casino near Palm Springs?

Cool stuff!

goddessj - whoa! I had to check your bio to see if you were who I hoped you were.

HI!!! lovely to read from you!

and chris - how incredibly cool for you. where is your film school??

I'm working from home this week - this living in San Diego and southwestern Colorado at the same time is pretty taxing stuff, but man, I love it. I'm still doing environmental management for the US Navy, which often looks like interpreting environmental policy and regulations.

Izzie and Marve--how totally kewl to find you and so many others here...

I've been flying under the radar for the last couple of years, and when the old site went down, I was off doing other things.

I'm a writer and photographer, most recently for a very small company called BlissLights.

I am a licensed counselor specializing in addiction treatment. I have my own approach that is affirming and positive-focused. My love of the Grateful Dead raises some eyebrows among my peers at times, but it is all about the love and the music for me.
