For Some Reason, Some Of My Best Solutions And Ideas Are Triggered In Those Dark Theaters, Usually Totally Unrelated To What's Going On Onscreen. I Also Enjoy Hiking In The Foothills And Mountains Close To Sacramento. I Always Have To Bring A Pen And Paper To Jot Down Sudden Thoughts And Ideas. So Inspiration Arises From Countless Sources.

Wringin' Your Hands Only Stops You From Rollin' Up Your Sleeves.

I Read Anything I Could Get My Hands On: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Thrillers. I Even Became Hooked On The Bantam Reprints Of The Old Pulp Novels From Thirties And Forties: Doc Savage, The Shadow, The Avenger.
