In Memoriam - my Father, Norbert - posted on All Souls' Day

B: 2.17.1927, Chicago IL
Married Phyllis: 6.27.1959
They moved to LA: 10.16.2003
Hospitalized post-stroke, the night of 9.27.2007.
D: 10.27.2007 after valiant efforts at Tarzana-Encino Hospital.
Cremation via The Omega Society; no memorial is planned.

Norbert was a gentleman of impeccable character, fidelity, kind love, and integrity. Adhering to the tenets of his Roman Catholic faith, he believed that one’s purpose here on Earth was “to get yourself to Heaven.” It seems that Divinity has always rewarded him. He was universally liked and respected. With keen observation informing his unassuming, efficient wit, he charmed new friends wherever he went. He was always the witty gentleman in his social circle, while endeavoring to eliminate the presence of “swear words” and crude content in his vicinity. Eg., for over 20 years, a group took an annual fishing vacation to wild realms of Canada accessible only via small seaplanes, sometimes as far north as the Arctic Circle. Though some of the guys might use marijuana or vulgarity, or be disrespectful to Nature or their Native American guides, Norbert’s voice of conscience always kept situations in-control without dishonoring his traveling companions! Educated at Carl Schurz Public High School and 2 years of night classes at Northwestern University, he worked tirelessly to provide for his family – his widowed mother Clara, wife Phyllis and only child Michael. He provided exceptional education for Michael, including St. Constance Catholic Grammar School, the all-boys Loyola Academy Jesuit College Preparatory High School, and Northwestern University. While working 40 years for Zenith Radio & Television Corporation until retirement, he worked a side job and cared for the 2-flat home he purchased from Clara 2 years before she peacefully passed on during sleep. Norbert maintained and improved that home while renting the second floor to well-cared-for tenants, until Michael (who moved to Hollywood in March 1998) coordinated the final move to Los Angeles.

Phyllis has always been the radiant center of love in her family. An only child born 8.18.1932, she contracted polio at 11 months of age. Her Depression-era family took turns massaging her legs – the only remedy then imagined. Somehow she sang, danced and “ran track” though a keen observer might notice her limp – left leg being 1” shorter, its foot lacking any muscle control. A leader among her peers despite frequent bully-beatings en route to school, she has always been a fearless enthusiast and optimist, her huge brown eyes loving all she sees – especially polite gentleman Norbert, whom she met via the “Key Club” group she co-founded. At their weekly socials in Skokie, IL’s St. Peter’s Catholic Church basement, Norbert & Phyllis shared many witty, polite conversations. But he was a “confirmed bachelor,” and never asked her out. Until she vanished mid-evening one week, and Norbert upon inquiring of her whereabouts, was informed that her date had picked her up. Clever Phyllis. The following week, Norbert asked her out. Their courtship was characterized by LONG conversations in Norbert’s car upon driving Phyllis back to her parents’ home, lasting till dawn, covering all manner of serious topics. Upon awareness of the brightening sky, one would always remark, “All I said was...!!” and they’d break out in hearty laughter. In fact, love and laughter were always the principal commodities traded between Norbert & Phyllis. Sometimes they’d express concern to the upstairs tenant, “I hope we’re not too loud” – the response being, “No, I love hearing you laugh!”

Norbert’s commitment to Phyllis was not without challenges. When Michael was 4 years old, Phyllis experienced her last of multiple miscarriages. At full term, planned daughter Lori did not survive while Phyllis did, thanks to her mother Lorraine’s alert timing, but hepatitis was contracted from blood transfusions. While she was bedridden for a year, Michael “grew up fast” and coordinated the household. Phyllis learned to walk again and loved her dedicated role as loving housewife and nurturing mother. As her strength increased, so did Michael’s popularity as a child actor. Phyllis & Michael ventured on CTA el trains & buses from Northwest Side Jefferson Park to downtown Chicago for a successful two years of professional acting in TV commercials & industrial films, until cystic acne set in and Michael transitioned to working behind the camera. Norbert’s support for his family was unwavering, as hardworking financial provider and loving husband & father.

Michael moved from Chicago IL to Hollywood CA in March 1998. After a few years, Phyllis began to experience Post-Polio Syndrome <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post..._syndrome> requiring her to use a walker or wheelchair for mobility. In 2003 Michael took a break from developing his career, to care for the health and welfare of his family. He traveled home to Chicago, sold the home which had been built by Clara on a vacant lot in 1952, and moved parents and possessions to Los Angeles. A short break was intended, but their care became more time-consuming than anticipated. The surprising departure of Norbert at age 80 as life partner and caretaker of Phyllis, age 75, brings new challenges... But every challenge is an opportunity.

Stay tuned... “Love is the Answer, no matter the Question.”

Armed Robbery Foiled by Kindness

Gunman bursts into party, tastes cheese and wine, gets hug, then leaves
The Associated Press
Updated: 2:47 a.m. PT July 13, 2007
WASHINGTON - Police on Capitol Hill are baffled by an attempted robbery that began with a handgun put to the head of a teenager and ended in a group hug.

It started about midnight on June 16 when a group of friends was finishing a dinner of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp on the back patio of a District of Columbia home. That's when a hooded man slid through an open gate and pointed a handgun at the head of a 14-year-old girl.

"Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he said, according to D.C. police and witnesses.

Everyone froze, including the girl's parents. Then one guest spoke.

"We were just finishing dinner," Cristina "Cha Cha" Rowan, 43, told the man. "Why don't you have a glass of wine with us?"

The intruder had a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupery and said, "Damn, that's good wine."

The girl's father, Michael Rabdau, 51, told the intruder to take the whole glass, and Rowan offered him the whole bottle.

The robber, with his hood down, took another sip and a bite of Camembert cheese. He put the gun in his sweatpants.

The story then turns even more bizarre.

"I think I may have come to the wrong house," he said before apologizing. "Can I get a hug?"

Rowan, who works at her children's school and lives in Falls Church, Va., stood up and wrapped her arms around the armed man. The four other guests followed.

"Can we have a group hug?" the man asked. The five adults complied.

The man walked away a few moments later with the crystal wine glass in hand. Nothing was stolen, and no one was hurt.

Once he was gone, the group walked into the house, locked the door and stared at each other _ speechless. Rabdau called 911, and police came to take a report and dust for fingerprints.

Police classified the case as strange but true. Investigators have not located a suspect. The witnesses thought he might have been high on drugs.

"We've had robbers that apologize and stuff but nothing where they sit down and drink wine. It definitely is strange," said Cmdr. Diane Groomes, adding that the hugs were especially unusual. "The only good thing is they would be able to identify him because they hugged him."

Last Weekend Weird 4U2? Astro-Weather Clues...?!

Should we have read this b4 beginning the April Fools' Weekend ?!
www.guyspiro.com/astro-weather/welcome/

Th March 29, 2007 PT
Guy Spiro’s Astro-Weather for Thursday March 29, 2006 Pacific Time:
The high cautionary relationship energy from the past two days will remain with us through today. Reread and apply carefully. There is another major energy running through the day that is a continuation of energy from the 25th. This needs to be handled carefully. On higher octaves, it can be positive for making new beginnings along spiritual lines. But on lower octaves you will want to watch out for spaciness and confusion, especially around the beginnings of projects. The early predawn starts out with good moods, but watch the mid predawn for relationship issues, spaciness, hard attitudes, and coercion. The early through mid morning chips in with general irritability and aggression. The midday contributes spaciness and more aggressiveness. Moods will improve through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening. Be aware that the Moon will be void of course this evening from 6:23 until 8:27 when it will enter Virgo. At that point the energy will lift and general moods will tend to become more discerning and concerned with detail.

Fr March 30, 2007 PT
Guy Spiro’s Astro-Weather for Friday March 30, 2006 Pacific Time:
There is a major energy coming into focus throughout the day that is highly social and funoriented, and after the past several days we have it coming. Plan some sort of unusual and stimulating activities with those close to you, and have a great time.

Sa March 31, 2007 PT
Guy Spiro’s Astro-Weather for Saturday March 31, 2006 Pacific Time:
The high fun and social energy mentioned yesterday will remain with us through today. Choose to focus on it. There is another major energy that is rather more cautionary. Watch for some people to be easily aggravated, which in extreme cases can lead to violence. This energy can bring problems with and for authority, and there may be attempts at regime change on many levels. Light will be shed on the uses of energy and power, and this aspect is likely to lead to some headlines. Minor aspects are mixed through most of the predawn, but good moods should run from the late predawn through much of the morning. The late morning through the nighttime is mixed at best. Choices.

Su April 1, 2007 PT
Guy Spiro’s Astro-Weather for Sunday April 1, 2007 Pacific Time:
The Moon will be void of course this morning from 6:37 until 8:43 when it will enter Libra. At that point the energy will lift and general moods will tend to become more con-cerned with balance and beauty. There are three major energies running throughout today. The first is very good for beginning projects involving communication, transpor-tation, electricity, technology, and on higher octaves, magic. The second easily brings problems to relationships. Guard against feelings of restriction and frustration, and acting out on them. Problems in this area that are indulged today can lead to more severe and longer-lasting consequences than usual. You will notice energy levels rising throughout the day as tomorrow’s full Moon rolls in. Minor aspects are no help, and this is a day for good choices.

Mo April 2, 2007 PT
Guy Spiro’s Astro-Weather for Monday April 2, 2007 Pacific Time:
Today is full Moon day. It is exact at 10:15 this morning. Remember that full Moons are always high energy and deserve to be approached with caution. With this particular full Moon, you will want to concentrate on self-discipline. The cautionary relationship energy mentioned yesterday will tend to linger through today and there are two more major energies coming into focus. The first easily leads to problems in communication and transportation, especially where people run into restrictions and frustrations that pop up unexpectedly and out of nowhere. The third is high but erratic social energy that can easily run out of control. Minor aspects are little to no help and this is definitely a day for good choices.

Tu April 3, 2007 PT
Guy Spiro’s Astro-Weather for Tuesday April 3, 2007 Pacific Time:
Consider the full Moon to run through today and well into tomorrow. Yesterday’s cautionary energies will remain with us through today as well. Continue to be careful in all your dealings with others, especially in situations involving communication and transportation. Also continue to be on the lookout for people getting carried away with the social energy. Many will find it hard to focus on work. There is another major energy coming into focus throughout the day that also easily brings problems to communication and transportation. Difficulties will arise where people attempt to say and do too much. Don’t bite off more than you can chew and don’t make promises you’re not sure you can deliver on. Minor aspects are mixed, but good moods are available to those making the right choices. Be aware that the Moon will be void of course tonight from 7:29 until 9:35 when it will enter Scorpio. At that point the energy will lift and general moods will tend to become more intense.

To All Friends & Members of Gemini Manor:

HAVE YOU MISSED SPENDING TIME AT THE MANOR???

MUCH has happened since we had our last party at GEMINI MANOR in January.
A few highlights are listed below plus an invite to our upcoming ST. PATRICK'S SUNDAY PARTY & SHOW (MARCH 18, 6:00 PM).

* Thanks to a kind invitation from one of the talented men who work on The MANOR, I recently traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico to attend a wonderful wedding in a small, charming town called Mitla. You can read about my adventures (Chapter One is now posted): www.geminimanor.com - click on "Alexander's Travel Blog". Oaxaca is a very special, beautiful place that is filled with museums, churches, Zapotec ruins, hand-woven fabrics, clean air and, most of all, proud, resourceful people. I am very grateful to have been able to explore this special part of the world.

* A HUGE amount of work has been done on The MANOR. The newly repainted, (front) Parlour Room has a new wall section & ceiling. Several windows throughout the house have been restored. The patio has been spruced up.
We can't wait to share all the changes with you!

* * * ST. PATRICK'S SUNDAY PARTY: MARCH 18 - 6:00 PM!

Wear your most Provocative Green and join us for a Manor Tour (6:00 PM), a Show: ELLIE O'DAVIS & FRIENDS (7:00 PM) and Live Music (8:00 PM). Munchies to Nibble on, Green Liquid to Imbibe and Oodles of New Stuff to Gawk at!

We'll be asking a 6.00 contribution toward the evening's expenses.

Help Celebrate: My Dad's 80th, 'round 2.17.07 — Norbert, not Norbit!

You may know that the past few years have been quite a challenge for me. In 2003 I sold the old Chicago homestead, bought a place for my folks, & moved 'em out here to the San Fernando Valley. It was an immense task, but I'm the only child, so that's just part of my job. :-) Since then, much time has been spent acclimating & assisting them (Mom's post-polio syndrome made her dependent on a wheelchair-or-walker sometime around 2001), plus lotsa Home Improvement...

I'd be honored if you would like to share a meal with myself & my parents Norbert & Phyllis, to celebrate his 80th birthday. I'm open to suggestions for date, time & place.

Natl. Anthem @Greendependance - Thanks, Wolfie!!

Wolfie's been so cool to us all over the years,
from the first Creepfest thru oh-so-many Mutaytor gigs,
that I wouldn't premiere my singing in this community w/o him.

His mix - an inspiring arrangement of my
acapella recording, Francis Scott Key's 1814
"Star-Spangled Banner," our National Anthem,
honored me deeply - as his set finale at midnight,
with 7.1.06 closing and many new chapters opening...

Keep close'n'collaborative,
honored Tribe friends & family -
this revolution will be inter-nalized. ;-)

The Four Agreements - by Don Miguel Ruiz

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the directions of truth and love.

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do you best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.
