Index/Table of Contents

1. Excerpts

Selected pieces from the most recent version of the memoir.

2. Illustrations and Relevant Embedded Videos

I have very few photographs from that time in my life, so the illustrations are symbolic and artistic representations, which should not be interpreted literally. In 2005, when I wrote the first draft, embedding video clips was in its infancy, and so was my ability to embed them. But this is 2008, and I'm catching up with the YouTube revolution!

3. Out Takes

Text that appeared in various drafts but (for various reasons) was cut. The most important out take appears here--proof positive that I have been living on borrowed time for 39+ years.

4. News Clips

In the first draft, I had added "news clips" to the text. During revision, I deleted most of them, but, now, have decided that they belong on this site.

5. New Text

I added this category--just in case something important is not covered in 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Favorite Quotes

If the doors of perception were cleansed then everything would appear to man as it is: infinite.

--William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

...The world as it appears to me is my creation, and for it I must assume responsibility. Given, as the bricks out of which I can build a universe, is a chaotic kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, sounds, moods, hopes, fears, joys, pains, ideas, movements...Out of this anarchy, I organize a world for myself. I subdue the disordered shapelessness into a world by choosing one out of an infinity of possible structures.

--Peter Koestenbaum, Existentialism: Philosophical Anthropology

To die before you’ve reached the sky is tragedy--the sky is always an inch away from our fingertips--no matter how high we may reach.

--Jeff A. Brown
