Resurrection.com
After my strokes in late-2007, I found little time available to update and play with this web site. There were simply other priorities to attend to. A number of you have asked that I resurrect this site and I've decided to comply. I hope that these chronicles and stories amuse, entertain, and enlighten you.
I've been spending lots of time recently in fabulous Seattle, WA..
Suffering means that you're on to something. Continue cheerfully...
I Drink SAKE (日本酒)
I find that there's nothing akin to sippin' hot sake, day or night, summer or winter, indoors or outside. In fact, I'm sippin' some as I'm typing this. Japanese rice wine is the solution to global warming, thermonuclear war, poverty, and military aggression. Period.

DoctorCosmo.com has been languishing long enough.
Throughout the past 18 months, I have been involved in a few adventures and several of my friends have asked why I haven't been placing accounts of those forays online. Simply put, my motivation has been on vacation. Moving from the East Coast to the Olympic Peninsula was a huge culture shock. Yes, yes, I've been immersed in different cultures across the globe. However, the move to Washington State affected me more profoundly than I imagined possible.
After living large in central New Jersey as well as Philadelphia, moving to a small logging town in the middle of nowhere was a huge adjustment. Initially, I thought this would feel more like an idyllic vacation as I was nestled in the conifers with Mt. Rainier to the south and the Olympic Mountains to the north. Gorgeous streams, pastures, and alpine meadows abound. If I were a landscape artist, I would have found my Nirvana.
But, I'm not. Rather, I felt exiled to a cultural wasteland. The only outlet that felt vibrant, edgy, and creative was two hours away in Seattle. Slowly, I discovered other venues closer to home. Olympia, WA, began to show some interesting aspects and one or two radio stations in that city brought a breath of hope.
I have been exceptionally grateful for the opportunity to continue broadcasting over WPRB's airwaves. The connection to Princeton, NJ, is a lifeline that has guided me through time that seemed dim and listless. Over the next few weeks, I will be adding new technologies to my arsenal, allowing listeners to watch live performances via Ustream.com and also providing more and better mechanisms for feedback.
Thanks to all of you who have been supportive and encouraging over these many years. I hope to provide you with exciting, silly, and educational detritus from this path I walk.
Be sure to check the site's progress during the months of January and February. Although this site will hopefully never be "finished," I have set myself goals over the this time period and will be updating the progress bar, below, as I complete these tasks.
Thanks for dropping by!
