~Skinny Puppy~

I went to Skinny Puppy. While I was there, I thought a lot about my good friends back home in Kentucky. I really miss them & want to see them again. It reminded me of my life through my 20s back home and all the traveling I did w/ friends to other states to see bands. Jon went w/ me & bless his heart. He was hurting from his recent motorcycle accident. He toughed it out because he knew I wanted the relief in life to see them as it's been about 8 yrs since I last saw them. I was really worried about Jon & was ready to get him up to leave if he wanted to. The show was so loud. The crowd less wild aI guess since old Skinny Puppy fans have all grown older. We still had some interesting entertainment w/ the younger people. The band was as vibrant & origonal as they always were. Nevek seemed not a year older. There I sat watching him sing his heart out like I wished to again for a good while. I still feel young. I want to continue to see good bands until I'm quite a bit older. Kathy

Jon & I went to Berbatis & saw the Dots. This was the 1st time I picked up weird vibes from them. that's never happened. I chatted w/ Edward though, as usual. We have always had good chats. He's apparently very conscious of Jon's presence. Well, Until I see them again! and as we all grow older & older like everyone else in the world.

Congradulations Stephan K. (beautiful person) for winning Nurse Of The Year at the University Hospital. They should have voted you cutest. :)

My sister will return from living in Germany for 3 months. Jon has broken his femur from a motorcycle accident. He was at Adventist for 8 days. He had some complications after surgery including a pulminary embolism and had 2 blood transfusions. He also had some difficulties w/ his kidneys. Indeed, I have learned to appreciate this lfe more and who's in it.

I'm all moved in my new house & really, there's not much stuff in it and I like that. I'd rather not have much stuff or furniture. We just have a futon in bedroom & nothing else. No need to have much else. Some people couldn't imagine that, however. I am sort of a soloist & a traveler.....I could never live w/ baggage. Ha ha....baggage.

Anyway, my sister is still in Germany, living. She is doing well and traveling much of the world by now. She liked Spain. I've been reading a lot about the corporate world in other countries & they are much more tame than America. America is high-strung----such as myself---and impatient. Americans are uptight and hungry.

I don't think I'll make it this time to visit Julie. We were going to Italy. I want to visit Egypt before I ever die. I just gotta go there. .......barefooted standing there next to the pyramids looking up. If not now then I will later.

Friday April 9th

Words can't express how pleased and comforted I felt after visiting my former, "family" today at OHSU. (My former job that I left in 2001) I just have so much love for people in my heart that sometimes it's a lonely feeling. Some of the faces I saw have helped to lift MONTHS of stress I've gone through. I'm very happy.

You aint goin anywere

Guestbook

Never fall in-love. There are rare relationships were it's almost 50-50 mutual like Barbara Bush & George, heh heh heh but usually there is always one who is more in-love than the other & if it's you that's more in-love, you may be left for something better. It's so, so, so, very painful. So don't fall in-love. If you start to feel those feelings...that's it...there's no turning back...They'll stay until they beat you up. Then you go crazy.

Jon and I attended Randy Coutor's 40th b-day party 4 days ago. It was at Matt Lindlin's farm. Randy is great.

Great Literature

I'm currently reading Eward Abbey's "Desert Solitaire". I've read it before and doing so again. I'm also reading Native American Philosophy...if it wasn't pitch dark in this room right now..I'd take a gander at the author....like anyone cares anyway...heeh ee

Old News:

Keven in early 90s

Keven always Keven

He had become a doctor

Wednesday, September 11th? not sure.....my friend Keven Fagen has been taking from this life from a heart attack. I think he was only 35 or 36. Young. I've known him since 1989. I won't forget Keven. To me he hasn't died. He's just not gone. It's just not over when someone dies. His funeral is I think, Sunday and Monday Sept. 15th? not sure. All my friends will be there and I don't think I would want to be there. Each of my friends back home have such strong charactors and it's an intense situation and I'm going through a lot of changes here in Portland. I love my friends however, so much. They were going to help me get there. I have real friends there. Not as much here in Portland. If I DID end up flying out there, I would, indeed attend the funeral but would fly home as soon as possible. I'm thinking about ya Keven. You left too soon. Sept 03

Don't hesitate to check out a health problem!

My dad has always been super healthy his whole life. For 63 his health is better than some 40 yr old men. He's been in the millitary since he was 18, now recently retired. What I do not like is getting an email noting that he has had a stent placed in an artery due to it being clogged. He had been complaining of chest and arm pains for THREE weeks. Sheesh...that's a long time to put up with typical heart attack symptoms! The thing is..he is the type of person who has to be doing something all of the time. That will put stress on anyone. I mean, unless you do Tai Chi a lot or Yoga and such. I have seen Angioplasys and -grams at my former job quite often.. I knew 2 nurses in the Cardiac Cath Lab (CCL). I was interested in seeing what they were doing in the dark rooms with their computers on. Highly graphical computers and almost a spectator's veiw of the patient recieving treatment. It's a very mellow setting next to surgery were I worked. I do not like knowing, however that my own father has now been a recipient of a balloon catherter. I know these times will come and every human on earth must face it. I, not having had a close family will not handle mom or dad ever passing. This is a whole new thing to think about. And I will think about it. I need to call my dad and make sure he will think about taking on so many tasks. He is not the highest autority in his life. I don't know exactly WHAT it is or who but now it's time to realize we're so much smaller and vulnerable and begin a more concious lifestyle for ourselves. (sorry about any misspelled words)

My dad is fine but anything with the heart is a serious situation.

Terri Nunn of "Berlin"

Can you believe she's around 45 or so?

May 28th...The Berlin concert. As I said, it's one of the best shows I've seen since "The Dammed". Thanks to a friend from years ago, Roy Martin the 3rd, I have aquired an appreciation for them. (The Dammed). Berlin was wonderful. Terri Nunn was beautiful as she always was so pretty. Her voice was intoxicating. Very feminine and sounded the same as it did in early 80s. I saw them at "Dantes" here in Portland. The next show I hope to make is The Moody Blues...which I've seen 3 times and whatta childhood flashback!

Dantes...great place
