Hey Man .... I'm 63 Years old now with the body of one but the mind of a 22 year old. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. You will find me a bit off-the-wall.

Now that I am over 60, I am embarking on a new phase of my life and that is writing short stories. I also write on Squidoo as Zut Moon and my material there is mostly quizzes or poking fun at Americans

  A dark novel told from the prespectve of a 16 year old female, confused by the twisted and dysfunctional part of society in which she finds herself. Characters are well developed and the book ends in an appropriate manner but don’t be looking for a fairy-tale ending. A worthile read.

  A very entertaining book - one of the best I've read in a long time. The plot unfolds in a nice crisp forward pace and the characters are well-developed. It was easy to relate to each of them as their personalities unfolded and their own personal agendas became apparent. The suspense and intrigue will keep you glued until the final satisfying ending.

  I really enjoyed this. Beautiful photos and one really gets into the mind of a manatee. The characters of the book are all manatees and each one clearly shows the dangers that they live with. Their biggest danger of course is man and what we do to their environment. This should be required reading in the schools. Really, it should be!

  This essay is an important read for those who have demons haunting their inner spirit. It shows us how to work through our problems and one way is to express what is bothering us. It is well written and to the point.

  Forgot to give it stars ...
  
• A Florida Bird Dog ~ Rex on Oct. 24, 2011
  
  A Very Good Read. Rex must have been quite the dog - mischevious without a doubt but lovable. Made me think of my dog whom I lost a few years ago - but the book wasn't sad. It was, rather, a recollection of the happy memories that the author had while with him more than 70 years.

  This was very insightful. The author's experience in South America leave me wanting to go somewhere else. Apart from the good restaurants, I had the impression that there are other better places to visit. That's what makes it a good read - it warns us of the troubles we may experience along the way. It also showed my why I should stay with Holland America cruises and not go to Norweigan. Thank You.
  
• Karma in Christianity on Jan. 18, 2014
  
  There was a great deal of work put into this book. I wish there were half stars because I would have preferred giving it 3.5. I didn't give it 4 stars (though perhaps it deserved it) because, for me, I found it too complex and also the fact that I am very much skeptical of what ancient relgious books tend to claim as much of it can no longer be confirmed. Suffise to say, that I think what the Author was saying was primarily that many of the different religions have a similar story/teachings. He also seems to say that resurrection can be interpreted as reincarnation and does not necessarily mean one resurrection (as today's Chrsitianity advocates) but many rebirths which I agree with. Also, I think he is saying that the ultimate answer lies within each of us and that I also believe. I also picked up images of the teachers/angels and prophets perhaps as intelligent forms from another galaxy here to teach us. That of course is another angle and not within the scope of this book - at least I don't think so. The author does not suggest any interplay from other sources but still I belive that could be one of the missing jigsaw pieces. If anything at all, the book will make you think.
