How do you live
Victorian home, built by a Danish Craftsman, 1905-1906
What did you do on the day of recording
I had not gone to sleep since early Thursday morning, 7 Sep 1995, as I was
furiously completing projects for my professional scientific work, and was
busy contacting local medias to ask if they were going to be present at the
recording, and so I was running on energy reserves I did not know I possessed!
On 9 Sep 1995, I was busy stapling copies of the Guideline Book, and Portrait
Book for the other participants checking over the recording equipment, washed my
hair, and went to the recording site. I ate a Mackintosh Apple
What would you normally be doing at the time of recording
Normally, at 3:00 am, Reno time, I would be dreaming, recharging my battery.
On occasions, I might be somewhere in Reno, a small club venue, listening to friends
perform music or I would also be playing music (electric guitar) and singing,
and dancing
What do you prefer for breakfast
Strawberries, vanilla yogurt; sometimes oatmeal with raisins, a dash of
cinnamon, and chunks of tart Mackintosh apple; sometimes just Earl Grey tea
What do you prefer for the day`s most important meal
Love. By large platefuls. So no one goes hungry
What do you believe in
Love
It is why we tick
It is what we crave
It is why we are here
And love is truth
Your favourite TV show
One that inspires, one that instills laughter and lightens the heart so it can
be shared with others
Otherwise I don't watch
What did you do in your last vacation
Life is my vacation. I love, I learn, I try things, I do things I've done before.
I travel physically to places (I love England. I've never been to Germany. I am
planning to be in Hannover for Expo 2000)
My last "specified vacation" I sailed on a nearly pristine lake with a good friend,
quietly slipping by loons, grebes, coots, and watching terns and eagles over head.
The boat was a small but the natural "silence" was immense. As was our awe
What does the word "Time" mean to you
With regard to time, it is opportunity. I always wish to enjoy it, to use it wisely,
and to fill it with love. But I am human
Why are you interested in the WorldVideo 40North Project
I think the WorldVideo 40North Project is brilliant! It is a dream, and I thank you
for this opportunity to be part of it... and to help it come true
Whishes for the world
Wy wish for the world is for people to see and understand their commonality, with
each other, and with other species, and that living with this understanding would
guide us to base our choices of how to live on love
And there would be smiles all around
Personal commentary
This has been a wonderful experience, a dream that is now a reality
I feel so lucky to have found you on the internet. So fortunate. And I have enjoyed
every minute and every calorie of energy I have used to help you with this
