CURRENT MISSION

Figure out my life philosophy and the components. I have a lot of diverse ideas on this topic.

ABOUT ME

Former ski bum in Colorado where I skied, mountain biked, hiked a lot. Became friends with folks from all over the world. Have lived in NY (never NYC), Austin, TX & Colorado. Now, I live in Denver and go up to the mountains in the summer for hiking and biking and stay warm in the winter.

PHILOSOPHY

My quotes from facebook are:

I vill sleep in grave - Zuzka

The gringos pay very well - Tito

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. - George Bernard Shaw

The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.
- AA Milne

If youth is wasted on the young, then even moreso, retirement is wasted on the old.
SCB

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. - Eleanor Roosevelt

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
- Hermann Hesse

Tis a Privilege to live in Colorado - Frederick Bonfils

The only way to say no to something is to say yes to something better -SCB
