Captain Kangaroo? Lee Marvin? Mr. Rogers???
A friend sent this… Forgive the few typos — it’s worth a read till the end.
I actually met Lee Marvin while he was filming “Route 66″ in Pittsburgh. As a matter of fact, I was on the set and there was a fight scene between him and George Maharis and George took a punch and broke Lee Marvin’s nose.

Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all.

Wait a minute… make that a few hours..
I’m writing this while waiting for a plane at Denver International. It’s become almost a cliche with airline delays again… For the past few years, I’ve been really lucky with flights and getting through airports fairly quickly, even with the gear I usually carry. But not tonight. Weather outside of Chicago made the plane late to Denver, which is the aircraft I need to get to L.A. So here I sit, waiting for a guy I don’t know to get the plane here and get me home. A lot of life is waiting — waiting in line at the bank, waiting for a train to pass, waiting for the rain, waiting for the right time to ask the question… let’s make the most of those moments of waiting. Talk to the people around you, or at least observe and enjoy them. I’m upstairs at DIA in a computer station and an Asian dude in a bad suit is to my left pounding on his laptop to some tunes I can hear through his ear buds. The guy on my right has Bose-style headphones on and is having a VOIP conversation wtih someone, half of which (his half) I am hearing at full volume. This is broken by sporadic announcements from an over-annunciating airport service rep for various customers… Kids scream and leap in a nearby kids play thing, their dad standing with a comatose glazed stare… I talked to a woman earlier who had been at the airport since the previous DAY. Ideally, I’d like to be on my way home. But things could be worse, and it’s not a bad way to spend a couple hours. If I end up staying here till tomorrow, I’ll probably have a totally different opinion…. LOL

OPT – other people’s technology
Last night, my MySpace account stopped functioning. It basically disappeared. No warning from MySpace — no violation of terms of service or anything like that. It just WENT AWAY… taking my 1700 friends, their lovely page and picture comments and my penetrating thoughts on the universe with them. OK, no great loss on that last part… lol

On the road again…
Today I’m in Denver, Colorado, an absolutely beautiful part of the country. I love how big the sky is here, and the clouds. I’m a huge fan of clouds, as many of you probably already know or guessed. You have seen a cloud theme in a lot of my work, especially the wide-angle variety…
