[edit] Politics

• My hopes of getting onto the ballot in the November 7, 2006, general election for PA Senate, 42nd district, as an Independent, were terminated in August, 2006. I pulled out of the race while before a PA Judge in Harrisburg after making a case there for 30-minutes. The details are going to be on my blog. But, this was just another story in how the power keeps the power and hires lawyers to harrass citizen candidates.

• In 2005 I ran for the same seat and got 2,542 votes in a three way race. I've run for public office in other instances in the past decade as well.

[edit] Traveler of the World

• We traveled three times to China in the past two years staying in Chengdu, Discovery Bay, and visits to other cities. Hundreds of photos from these trips are being prepared for the public domain.

• We spent two weeks in Canada in August 2006 at a swim and sports camp called Camp Chikopi, [1].

• We expect to travel to New Zealand in 2007 for up to six weeks.

• In 2008, our goal is to attend the Beijing Olympics as spectators.
