ABOUT ME

60 year-old semi-reformed hippie/academic/artist/musician/entrepreneur.
Nowa days, living and "Working" in Santa Fe!

I have a gifted and wonderfully talented 8 yr-old daughter named Aria Eden

I have another wonderful daughter who will turn 30 in June. Her name is Lisa and she lives in Cape Town. She's a great cook and works as a confectioner and French pastry chef.

PHILOSOPHY

It is my intention to live forever so I'm not concerning myself with trivia.

I believe in God and but can't believe commercial and political religion. I see faith as residing in the un-confirmed. I see it as putting your trust in a theoretical model and holding on tight for the ride. Much like scientific axioms work.

No faith is required for anything about which you have proof. "The sky is blue" requires no faith but "God loves you" requires a construct or model in which a GOD entity exists.

This is the model of the universe I choose.
