In the Beginning

This blog is about my life - especially the times in my life where I have hurt myself. Buddha said that "Life is Suffering", and somehow that's been the predominant theme in my journey. I think the idea is that we must suffer to learn, but I don't think I've learned much from my physical suffering. I had the crazy idea that as I got older that I would run out of innovative ways to injure myself, but just in the past 10 days I've hurt myself four different times.

Looking back, I am amazed that I have lived as long as I have. All I can say is that my stupidity is balanced by my toughness and luck. A fortune teller told me many years ago that I was going to die healthy. I remember thinking..what the heck does that mean? Now, I understand. One of these fine days I will finally succeed in doing something so incredibly dumb and dangerous that Darwin's law will prevail and it will be my time to move on from this world. Of course, I probably won't be able to post anything about that incident. :-)
