Since I unplugged in 2003 I’ve learned so much of the world. The heavy fog of judgment & ego has slowly given way to peace & understanding. The deafening voice of the system has quieted over the years and I was finally able to find what I was looking for!
The pursuit of Love is the only reason for living!
I’ve made so many mistakes in my life. I’ve had to learn each one first hand, It hasn’t been easy. I’ve never been one to take advice or the easy path. I’ve never been obedient, or followed the herd. Nor has Carla.
Carla was a math olympian, punk bass guitar player, linguist, traveler, teacher, and tango dancer. She is a rebel to the bitter end and the only woman I’ve ever been able to trust with my heart. So I gave her the key and made her my wife.
I’ve cut my feet many times walking the jagged road. It has taught me so much over the years and ultimately lead me where I needed to go. The road is now my friend as I walk 
upon her as two. Her rewards are overly generous for lessons learned, thank you.
Finding my way is something I’ve always wanted to share. I believe inspiring my fellow man is my responsibility. I obviously don’t do it for money, I do it because it is my way of fighting a system that I don’t believe in. Love is the system I believe in, and is a fuel that should be burnt from both ends.
Even though we can’t yet measure Love as we do the temperature, it is the most 
powerful energy on earth. More powerful than the ocean or the wind. It is the song of life itself, 
and we should all dance to its music with our very last steps.
Carla and I just got back from our adventure in Argentina. We traveled many miles together and I return with so much more in my heart than when I left.
I not only return with a wife, but a family. Carla is surrounded by so much Love in Argentina. Her mother and father are truly amazing people as are her 
brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces.
Family is not something I know much about. After my mother passed my family evaporated as she was the glue that held it together.
Unfortunately my father and I could never make it work, but these are the jagged 
stones that have cast me into the world on a small sailboat, searching for something else. That “something else” is Love, and I am very grateful to have found it.
Carla and I are going back to work on Splendid. The tools & paint brushes are coming out and we are going to set upon the world in our beautiful home as soon as we 
can make her ready.
Every horizon forthwith will be a bit more colorful. Every beach a little whiter, and the sun a bit warmer. I truly am the luckiest man in the world. I get to sail into the sunset with my wife.
I’m digging as deep into my repertoire of 
words as I can trying to explain how happy and grateful I am for the Love that has been bestowed upon me. The truth is I don’t have words to even begin to touch upon the tip of this iceberg.
The only word I have is Love.
Peace, Love, and my wife.
