A SHORT FACT-THING ON PLANETIER TRAVELER NUMBER 6,065,991,320 (projected to 25 April, 2000 at 11:20:26 GMT) currently on the planet this page updated Saturday, 3 February 2001

Began somewhere to the left of Motown - Battlecreek, Michigan - August 10th, 1947. Like my mate Bill Clinton - I am a Leo with Moon in Taurus. Same year as Letterman, O.J. Simpson, Arlo Gunthrie, Schwarzenegger, Gregg Allman, David Bowie, and Elton John. Same day and year (me astro twins) as Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) and Anwar Ibrahim deputy prime minister of Malaysia until recently fired by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. Oh - and of course Libra rising. With Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Sun conjunct in Leo.

Hung out with my mates in Clifton Park from 1950 until 1965 when I realized there was a bigger world out there. All of which I wanted inside of me.

I am you

 

You are me

 

We are her

 

And she split

 

So we are

 

No more

 

Did what I could to make Shenendehowa the great school that it is today - of course I had no impact.

Did the 1960s in Greenwich Village, San Francisco, Los Angles, Eugene - Oregon and Honolulu...use your imagination...I did.

Oh dear! Mistake Mistake - What would 1969 to 1972 be without trying to find the Self - going through Illumination, Self-realization ??? - so being one of the masses I did too...In The Holy Order of Mans in Honolulu. Escaped in 1972 - and landed in New Orleans (Acutally I woke up one morning on the lawn of Tulane University, with lots of people walking past on their way to class - 24 years later I am still not quite sure how I got there.

Street Artist in New Orleans 1972-1974 - selling and creating picture- poems alongside Jackson Square.

Well what is one mistake without another one? After taking life- vows in the Holy Order of Mans then escaping I felt something - don't know what - but I ended up back in their *** - 1974 to 1978.

Sent all over the States as Brother Arthur to heal, save, initiate. learn that I wasn't me... Cheyenne, Wichita, Syracuse, Towson Maryland, Detroit and some other places I no longer care to remember.

1976-1978: Attended Towson State University in Maryland USA for nursing Worked at Sheppard Pratt Hospital in Towson as a psychiatric aide or something like that.

1978 Left the Holy Order of Mans for good (or worse) -

Between God

 

And man

 

the choice

 

is easy

 

Between God

 

And woman

 

The choice

 

is woman

 

1978-1980: Artist in Baltimore, Washington D.C., and New York City.

January 1980 lectured at some astrological thingie in Sydney Australia. Met some woman that I didn't like.

Woman I didn't like arrived in the States (Towson) and at my door March 1980. What the heck - I'm a guy - and I was going through some promiscuous cycle of any woman was the best I had been with in that moment. Several months later while living in Honolulu and working at Queens Medical Centre - this person that I never liked but she was in my house for the weekend and what the heck why not? rings and says she is pregnant from me. 'HELP'

Sacha comes to hang out on the planet January 6, 1981. Born - Kahuku, Hawaii, out there in the sugar fields.

June 1981 moved with woman I didn't like in Sydney and 'oh what the heck! in Baltimore to her home in Adelaide South Australia.

Good golly! Worth forgetting - began a tofu business in 1981 and hung in there as the 'Tofu king of Australia' until 1988...had something like 35 tofu based products for awhile there: tofu burgers, cheescakes, spring rolls...

July 1983 Leigh came along to this planet to play baseball. Leigh signed with the LA Dodgers February 1, 2001. comet-memories

October 1984 Left the woman I didn't like in Sydney in 1980 and 'Oh what the heck in Baltimore' and moved out to the bush, children in tow. The court gave me custody of the kids but said "don't leave town with 'em mate" - so I have been a political prisoner of Australia for the past 16 years. - against my free-will

1991-1994 BA in Literature and Journalism at Deakin University, Geelong Victoria.

February to April 1992 visited New York, Eugene, Indiana, Paris, London, and many places in Germany and Switzerland with kids in tow.

October 1992 toured Australia in a large mobile home with my 87 year old father visiting from Clifton Park New York and kids too...good golly - help! What is the difference between an 87 year old and an eleven and a nine year old? Not much, believe me.
