about me
A slightly stiff "Free Spirit" Osho sannyasin psychonaut interested in love, presence, clarity, celebration, combining meditation with psychonautical exploration, the Archaic Revival, gathering the Tribe, resisting Babylon and the Dominators, thoughtful, curious, too head-oriented at times, playful, hedonistic, undisciplined, procrastinating, generous, creative, silly, whimsical, and sometimes obsessive (in spurts).
Could a 50 year old, attractive, fit, yoga-practicing woman find a compelling reason to exercise, eat right, etc. without being in an active search for a sexual partner? A friend of mine recently posited that if she wasn't looking for a lover, she'd probably not give a shit about her body, eat bon bons (or some equivalent), and gain 50 pounds in short order. This attitude shocked me...a little.
My Tribe stuff hasn't been working properly since Tribe Premium went online, so I wouldn't be at...

This is long overdue. I went back to northeast Iowa last August to memorialize my father in the community where he grew up and where he wanted to be buried. We had hoped that Wife #3 would have acceded to his wishes and released his body to us. This did not happen. So the funeral we planned transformed into a memorial.
I hadn't been out there since my father's second wedding, in December of 1977, nearly 30 years ago. Suffice to say that I hadn't seen most of my aunts, uncles, and cousins f...

I finally found an old friend the other day, someone that I didn't appreciate when they were in my life. A really beautiful person that I met initially as a 'pen pal' in a Stranger personal ad sometime in the early 90s. We eventually met and enjoyed each other's company for awhile. But while I found her beautiful, sexy, smart, and intriguing, I made excuses not to be with her. I wouldn't let myself fall for her, although reading my journals from the time, it appeared that was where I was head...

I came across this check yesterday when rifling through a couple shoe boxes I've been keeping photos, cards, and letters in. With the Internet, the boxes have mostly stabilized in the past few years with only a very few additions. I've been looking for things from my father and pre-digital photos of him.
I think I kept this check because I found it amusing at the time, given who it was from and what she said it was for. In truth it was probably an attempt to repay a loan to help cover her...

Last night or early this morning, on July 24th, 2007, my father, Everett Walter Zupke, first born son to Walter and Lucille Zupke of Sumner, Iowa, died peacefully in his sleep of "natural causes." I can still scarcely believe it. It doesn't seem real, somehow--as if I'm in some sort of weird dream. He was in good health, although there was some talk that he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure a couple years back. He never liked to talk about his health, and on occasion would let his f...
