Come On In! Make Yourself At Home!

These pages have been totally redesigned. Anyone who has been here since they were originally put up will notice right away. But have no fear. They are as friendly as ever. Anything that says FauxBear on it is about me or the folks I love. If you don't find your picture or words about you, it probably just means I haven't got around to you yet. Fret not.

The new divisions of the pages are configured to Creative, which is my art and writing. One day there might be arias from the opera I wrote, or passages of a novel. What you will find now is Lightspeed Mary, a few romantic epic poems and some darned fine pen-and-inks... if I do say so myself. Adventures will show you a few awesome places I've had the opportunity to visit, and some of the extraordinary people I had the great fortune to share them with. I'm going to be writing reviews of my requiem collection. You may follow the DeadBearlink to go to those pages. To visit some of my favorite places, go to Links. Email is just that. Send me your comments if you're so inclined. You'll find a link on each page.

Go. Explore.

Served fresh! No traditional family values required.

Contemplate the truly mysterious and transcendantal qualities of coffee: first, it must be strong enough to stand on without sinking. Second, chocolate and cream are optional (I am a purist. Give me pure, unadulterated, black, strong, wholesome, caffeinated coffee. But not after about four o'clock in the afternoon. I have to get up early.). Third, morning summer sun. Last, someone wonderful to share it with. Aaah.
