Happy Birthday, Dad (Colin Murray senior)


Dad would be 96 today, he would have had fun today watching his grandson with his name grow up and meet new challenges.. it was a gorgeous day for you, Dad, if you are still looking over the rip where we poured your remains for the tide to take you out and in, so you became part of the ocean and golden sand we run and surf in... what better place
for lovers of the sea..


I dont know what to write, but there are so many other moments in the day that I'd like to express myself..  the biggest joys lately are just the living vicariously through our son's little victories.. we were so proud of him in his first swim lesson since coming back to  what he calls "Oklahoma"
and seeing how is he getting smarter each day..
without the tv (just a very tiny little dvd player with a minute screen to help occupy some moments) we are bonding much more as a family
with fewer arguments over the volume, cept now I like to crank up some songs so colin can do his rock and roll ditty!

Peter Pan Syndrome

I have a little time to chat with you today. I hope to do a cut and paste about the above topic that many people throughout the world display symptoms of. They are reluctant to take on the responsibilities of adulthood and I remember reading an essay about the Gilligan Syndrome which is the modern day version. I have been impressed with Johnny Depp's version of James Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, a play about a boy that never grows up. The movie, Finding Neverland, captures the author's feelings about a child who lost his youth dealing with the death of his father. He made the play with a way to reach the childhood fantasy of this sad young boy.

I think about Johnny Depp's impression of James Barrie as a funny man enjoying the company of children more than adults. Julie Christie does a good version of the the grandmother of these children. I feel that I can empathize with his feelings by enjoying hanging out with young folks often more than adults that have squelched the…

The Schwagstock Movement

I'm excited about the video "Sherman's March" coming in about this man's historical documentary "evolving into an improbable search for love". I need to see if I can show it to Muffy as she would she the similarity between this man and me. It is so amazing that I have been thinking about how this website could evolve into a movie also. There have been so many funny things happening in this story. I like to think of these types of coincidences as signs from above. I feel that the spirits that are wanting to guide me are telling me to do this. Muffy badly wants me to get a laptop so that I can easily download pictures and film from the camcorder that I'm investing in. I have not smoked anything yet today, so I am completely sober in this vision.

I woke up to another beautiful gorgeous day just begging for me to go outside and enjoy it. I can feel love and hope in the atmosphere on a crystal clear warm day in December. I feel that there is hope for huma…
