The next USA Flugtag is in Tampa, Florida on July 16, 2008. I have to send my entry in by May 16.
I am trying to drum-up support from my friends and co-workers, but so far I have gotten no commitments. I don’t want to do it by myself … it would be so much more fun to do with a group of friends. Well see.

How I did it: Whenever I felt the inspiration, I opened the file where I keep all my poetry and wrote. If needed, I re-wrote and edited the poem later. sometimes I created several versions of the same poem until I was satisfied with it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I moved to Connecticut to an apartment by myself, and I didn't own a TV. So, when I got there, I did not buy a TV and decided to try life without TV for a year. It made me devour reading material: I would read two daily newspapers, 3 weekly magazines, four monthly magazines and still run out of "stuff" to read. My apartment was always spotless, and they new me by name at the local bar. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I knew her forever! She was (is) beautiful and sexy, but it was always out of the question. I was in town on vacation. She was getting done with her divorce. We went out, as friends, with friends. We had always connected. It was too easy. It was explosive and spontaneous. It wasn't suppose to happen, but it did and we couldn't stop it. Read how I did it…

It was awesome! Hawaii is beautiful, but being next to such an amazing power of nature was really cool.
To stand at the edge of that rim and know that if you fall, or if there is a quake or eruption, you are toast! ... literally … is pretty amazing.
I am dating myself, but I saw him during the Purple Rain tour at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla.. It was awesome, BUT, even better than Prince was the performance of Sheila E. That woman can play the timbales like nobodies business.
Funny, cause a few years ago I was watching a show in honor of Tito Puente, renouned for his Timbales playing skills, and I was remembering Sheila E’s performance at Prince’s concert, when who shows up” Sheila E. It was awesome.
