Need= wanting someone else’s money
Greed= wanting to keep your own money
Compassion= a politician transfers your money

Behold, the fool saith,
“Put not all thine eggs in the one basket”
–which is but a manner of saying,
“Scatter your money and your attention;”
but the wise man saith,
“Put all your eggs in the one basket
and–WATCH THAT BASKET.”
— Mark Twain, “Pudd’nhead Wilson’s Calendar”
Upon this sunny afternoon
I think about that cruise we took
another simple three hour affair
a terrible storm took our Minnow
tossed us high in the air
storm did pass
we survived
I wish we had not departed
for we found ourselves
on a deserted beach
that was, well….uncharted
I lie in my hammock all night
Skipper down below me
he is my friend
’till the end
I’m his Little Buddy
Ginger and Mary Anne
both beautiful women
many nights I lie awake
with them I wish to be sinnin’
Professor made a radio
out of a coconut
should have made a boat
that ignorant nerd
to get us out of these huts
Let’s not forget the Howells
Thurston and sweet Lovey
in their hearts
in their minds
visions only of money
We’ve been here for many years
my friends and me
yes, quite a while
but I would like to think
our time well spent
here on Gilligan’s Isle

Retired from the University of Texas and too old to play soccer anymore. Now, in the twilight of his years, time is spent writing in this blog, hiking and exploring Texas Parks, photography, working out, gardening and tending to the five ponds he built .
Trying to help people think of things a little sooner than they would without me...
Just exploring what it is to be human.
