Paging Jack Nicklaus…
All those Golden Bear commercials on Sunday afternoons couldn’t save his deep-pockets talking point, the Royal Bank of Scotland, from falling like a lead balloon so badily as to need a UK bailout.!

About Me
- Gadfly
- Politically, and somewhat socially and philosophically, I'm an oft-times willful and deliberate contrarian, infused with a stubborn streak of common-sense informal logic. I don't accept orthodoxies of left or right. Beyond that, I'm an existentialist secularist who loves classical music, hiking in the West, nature photography, bad puns, writing poetry, ethnic cooking and much more.
As for me personally? I was born in a manger, inside a log cabin, in Bethlehem, with the front door facing precisely in the direction of Mecca. My mother virginally conceived me after swimming in a sacred pool, getting caught in a golden rain shower while there, AND getting pierced in the side by the horn of a sacred rhino at the same time.
“Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.” - Joseph Campbell
