In 1977 I entered a period of my life where self doubt and depression were nearly everyday occurrences. Not liking these attitudes, I began self analysis using the Gestalt therapy teachings of Fritz Perls. From 1977 to 1980 I hung out at the Upstart Crow Bookstore ad Coffeehouse at the Pruneyard in Campbell, California. It was in this wonderfully social environment that I began sketching hundred of contour drawings of patrons and writing poetry and stream of consciousness meanderings. This book is a compilation of many of those works.

Revised 2nd EditionKorea, 1967 and 1968. The Vietnam conflict was escalating. The cold war was raging. Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated. In North Korea, the Navy ship USS Pueblo was captured, and over a dozen North Koreans tried to blow up the South Korean president. And at Recreation Compound #1, barely two miles from the DMZ, forty touring Army musicians and singers attempted to keep sane through it all. Boo was a dollar a lid.
