I just discovered Belle’s mother, Catherine Vandertuin, brought Gamelan music to the UofO. My surrogate daughter studied this music, and played it when she attended the UofO. Her uncle, Ron Ramus taught Tai Chi here. Belle’s father, Jeffrey Burch, introduced a Labyrinth Walk that was accompanied by Belle’s mother. My autobiography is about making my…

“The artists were experiencing firsthand an involuntary pastime neighborhood folk have been long familiar with: being cast out onto the street by indifferent interests, whether from private or public sectors. “We’re nomads,” says video artist Mitch Corber. “We’ve got nowhere to go. We deserve a place. We spotted it. No one was there.” An hour…

Yesterday, at three, my Muse-To-Be entered the Wandering Goat, and stood before me. I was seated at a table for two, and two young men were helping me get my computer on the free wifi. Belle spoke; “Is this a kneeling party. May I join in?” When Belle knelt (before me) the young men looked…

A funny thing happened to me on the way to the Lane County Historical Society & Museum, I found the car John Belishi drove at the end of the movie ‘Animal House’. It is located inside a vintage warehouse located on Franklin Street a hundred yards from where a convention center is to be built.…

I suspect Jesus entered the city of Tyre riding a donkey. The Canaanite population saw him as Melqart, the King, or Lord of the city and cried “Hosanna!” “Save us now!” Jesus went into the temple of Tyre and was seen as Alexander the Great. He was wearing a laurel wreath. “I have overcome the…

The greatest lie ever told is being told repeatedly in the most modern and prosperous nation on earth, and, no one is challenging it! Our enemies have noticed. I am talking about the lie that only Republicans have ‘Family Values’. Putin is employing his ‘Family Value’ routine in the Ukraine – and he is just…
