After 63 years of being on this earth and 35 years of working with kids on their own and many, many years of press photography,I have decided to share my opinions. As I listen to the news and here all the commentaries, I can’t understand how the obvious is obviously not obvious to them.

THEY ARE NOT HEROES I am of the opinion that the word “hero” is so overused that it has lost its original meaning of a super act of courage and extraordinary bravery that qualified the doer of those deeds to sit with the gods.

This Wonderful Way Of Eating Called Atkins I just bought a pair of pants, size 32. This might not seem like a very important statement on its own until you know that a little over two months ago I wore 34” waist pants and was about to look for 35” ones because I was having trouble buttoning and unbuttoning the 34” ones.

The so-called War On Drugs Recently, I have had the terribly frustrating experience of trying to find a detox facility for a friend of mine. He needs one to kick a heroin habit. He is well motivated and has regularly attended Narcotic Anonymous meetings. I am in the Los Angeles area of So. California. You would think that in this quite progressive large city that there would be enough detox

My experience is quite broad and includes: working with street kids and young adults on their own for about 35 years; press photography for 20+ years; Air Force officer (inc. Viet Nam); motorcycle racer;
