WHAT FOLLOWS IS A RE-POSTING OF A PAST LABOR DAY PARTIAL SUMMATION TO ALERT TO MANY ENDEAVORS INCLUDING THE MODERN SNOWBOARD SO SHAPED AND ABOUT A QUARTER INCH THICK AND WITH THE LONG HALF PIPE SPORTINESS THAT I CAN CLAIM PARENTAGE ABOUT - THOUGH NOT ALWAYS SOLO PARENTING.

What follows as a bulleted list is all somehow personally related and of years and decades of past specific mental efforts from accidental and situational as well as designed and strategized past musing - and musing away of support for some or much:

*MY GRANDFATHER WORKED ON MADISON AVE ON JOHNSON & JOHNSON ACCOUNT FOR NEAR 25 YEARS BEFORE Y&R RETIREMENT.

*I KNEW BY 1971 THAT I WANTED TO GROW UP TO BE LIKE HIM & TOLD HIM.

*BILL & HILLARY POLLED ME AT PLAY IN EARLY 70s AS LAW STUDENTS WALKING BY WONDERING IF THEY COULD BOTH BECOME PRESIDENT SOME DAY.  WILLIAM STRINGFELLOW WAS A CLIENT ON SUMMER NEAR THREE BEFORE HE PASSED - I WAS ON BLOCK ISLAND FOR SUMMER AND HE NEEDED ABOUT A MONTH OF LANDSCAPING & PRUNING ON HIS PROPERTIES.

*TV SHOW “DIFFERENT STROKES” WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED IF I HADN’T PLAYED “I HAVE A BLACK COUSIN” CARD TO TRY TO GET A DATE WHILE IN MY EARLY TEENS IN NEW HAVEN.  I REMEMBER ADDING “TWO ADOPTED SONS WOULD BE BETTER”.

*I GRADUATED WILBUR CROSS “GOVERNORS” PUBLIC NEW HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL IN 1983 WITH TENNIS CO-CAPTAIN AND SWIM TEAM CO-TRI-CAPTAIN AS WELL AS “BUSINESS EDITOR” FOR LITERARY MAGAZINE AND YEARBOOK PHOTOGRAPHER AMONG MY CREDITS. 

*I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL ALREADY EMPLOYABLE AS A BIKE MECHANIC WITH HIS OWN TOOLS AND SOME SOUND CARPENTRY SKILLS AS I HEADED OFF TO VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY.

*I KNEW OF TWO SARAH HEATHS BY GRADUATION AND HAD ALREADY TAKEN TO SAYING OF MY PERSONALITY AND AMBITIONS: I AM MORE A CITIZEN ROSEBUD THAN A CITIZEN KANE.  ONE OF SARAH HEATHS WAS MET LIKE VIA GOOGLE TODAY BUT BEFORE SUCH WHILE SEARCHING ABOUT WHETHER ANOTHER SARAH HEATH MAY EXIST I SHOULD CONSIDER IF I CHOOSE TO USE PHOTOGRAPHY AND DARK ROOM SKILLS LEARNED FROM ANOTHER.  I GAVE DISTANT SH A NICK NAME “TITLE 9″ TO AVOID CONFUSION.

*THOUGH I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL ALREADY ABLE TO BE EMPLOYED AS A BIKE MECHANIC MORE THAN PAST YEARS AS A NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC - I ALSO HAVE THE DAY ON SLEDDING HILL WITH ONE OF OTHER SWIM TEAM CO-CAPTAINS WHERE I BROUGHT MY WOOD “SNOWBOARD” WITH TOE TOW ROPE TO BRAINSTORM WITH HIM.  SO AS THAT GOES WE DID CREATE IN OUR MINDS A NEW BOARD DESIGN AND A CONVERSION OF SUCH HILL NEAR ENOUGH A NATURAL HALF PIPE OF CURRENT POPULAR LENGHT - I GOT TO IMAGE IN MY MIND WITH THOUGHTS OF CUTTING UP HIS SAILING DINGY OF THE 1/4INCH FIBERGLASS HIS WAS CONFIDENT COULD WORK BUT WITH METAL EDGING LIKE ON HIS SKIES.  SO WE THOUGHT WE TOO OLD ALREADY TO KEEP SUCH IDEA FOR OURSELVES AND COULDN’T IMAGINE SPENDING THAT MUCH TIME LAUNCHING A NEW SPORT TOGETHER.

*SO “FRIENDS” SHOW FOLLOWED ON “DIFFERENT STROKES” NETWORK PARTICIPATION SO THAT THIS SAME CO-CAPTAIN A SWIMMER, DAVID AND FEMALE OTHER CAPTAIN AN ACTUAL GELLER WAS PUSHED BY ME NOT NEAR AS DISTANTLY AS OLD OTHER SARAH HEATH STORY BUT STILL AS SPIRITED.

*I DID GO TO VILLANOVA AND DID THINK ABOUT LEAVING BEFORE GETTING MY BA IN ECONOMICS AND UNDECLARED PHILOSOPHY MINOR WITH CREDITS IN ARABIC AND PASCAL COMPUTER PROGRAMING.  BUT THERE SOMEONE SPIRITED A QUERY TO “WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE NOT HERE” TO MY I WOULD SET UP A TV SHOW ABOUT REBUILDING OLD HOMES AND HONOR AND THE NORM A CABINET MAKER IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND BERNIE “MOOSE” SILVA OF CAMP BECKET DIRECTING AS I WAS REGULARLY BOBBING VILLAS AROUND VILLANOVA WITH THOUGHTS LIKE “BUT I COULD BUILD YOUR HOUSE - I COULD BUILD TWO OF THEM AND KEEP ONE.”

*I DID ALSO LATER GET CORNERED YEARS LATER BY A CLIENT WITH NEAR A “WHY CAN’T YOU DESIGN AND BUILD MY PORCH IN JUST SEVEN DAYS” TO WHICH I AGAIN WITH MORE DEVELOPED DISTANT NETWORKING EXPLAIN THAT I COULD AND HOW I COULD - AND WELL THEN THAT SUCH COULD MAKE AN INTERESTING TV SHOW TOO (UNDER MY BREATH).  THIS WAS WHILE IN DC THEN FINDING NEW THINGS TO DO AND LEARN SO THAT MY CHALLENGE TO J.K. ROWLING TO WRITE SEVEN BOOKS FOR SEVEN YEARS OF CURRICULUM TO FILL A NEIGHBORLINESS VOID IN 90s EXPECTED WITH YOUNG NEIGHBORS ALSO BIKE MAINTENANCE CLIENTS.

*I DID NOT MEAN TO HAVE THE VOLUNTEERED CAMPAIGN HELP I GAVE DEMOCRATS TOWARDS 1992 TO HAVE BEEN ENOUGH SPECIFICALLY TO GET CLINTONS OVER FINISH LINE WITH A VICTORY - I DIDN’T PLAN ON ROSS PEROT ENTRY & SUCH A REACTION TO CHANGES HAPPENING AT IBM OFF A CONVERSATION HELP PRIVATELY NEAR 1990 WITH ITS CFO.

*THE ELECTION OF THE CLINTONS WAS NOT NECESSARY TO THE ABOVE AND DID UNDERMINE SOME OR MUCH OF PROGRESS OF SUCH AND TO SOME EFFORTS THEN NEEDING TWICE AS MUCH CONCENTRATION AND CONSIDERATION.  DUMBLEDOR IS NAME GIVEN YOUNG NEIGHBORS FRONT DOUBLE DOOR A PURPLE DUTCH STYLE DOOR WHERE TOP COULD OPEN INDEPENDENTLY OF BASE.  THERE SON OF YOUNG POSSE WAS STUDYING MAGIC THEN AND WEARING ROUND GLASSES AND LIKE OTHERS ABOUT SEVEN YEARS FROM COLLEGE.

*AND, SO TO BE VERY BRIEF ON PAST LABORS VERY FEW CONSIDER WHEN DECIDING HOW TO INTRODUCE OR WISPER ABOUT ME THAT HAS ME OFTEN HEARING “HE TOOK DOWN SADDAM HUSSEIN” (LONG STORY - ALSO OF 100% VOLUNTEERING AS LIKE A HOBBYIST WITH SO MUCH SPECIFIC AND UNIQUE INSIDE KNOWLEDGE OF ORIGINS OF MUCH OF OUR ECONOMY AND TIED MARKETING) — I ALSO PUSHED STANLEY TOOLS TO MERGE TWO TYPES OF HANDS SAWS I USED WHILE A ROUGH AND FINISH CARPENTER INTO A NEW AND IMPROVED HAND SAW DESIGN WHILE KEEPING THE PR SIDE OF SPIRITING SUCH MUCH ABOUT IT A MERGER OF ENGLISH AND JAPANESE STYLED SAWS TO MY MUSING AND WRITING.  TO BE BRIEF THIS IS A LIST OF LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT OF MY PAST LABORS IN MUSING THAT ARE LABORS MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW AT ALL ABOUT.

*TO BE BRIEF:  OH, YEH, IN MIDDLE SCHOOL I TOOK SECOND PLACE IN ORATORY CONTEST WITH FDR’s “DAY OF INFAMY” SPEECH AND FIRST WITH ANOTHER CLASSMATE FOR GREEN ENERGY HYDRO POWER WORKING MODEL AT SCHOOL SCIENCE FAIR.

*BUT REALLY TO BE BRIEF:  AGAIN:  THE CLINTONS WERE NOT ESSENTIAL TO MOST OF ABOVE AND DID MAKE MUCH OF IT HARDER AND ESPECIALLY HOW I HAD KEPT WALKING OFF IDEAS AND THOUGHTS FOR OTHERS TO FIND TO DEVELOP NEW SNOWBOARD SPORT AND WITH A HALF PIPE OF AT LEAST THE LENGTH OLD FRIEND AND I DID GET EXCITED ABOUT THAT DAY.

*BUT REALLY THIS IS VERY BRIEF.  BUT MAYBE I WOULD RATHER NOT HEAR REPUTATION PROCEED ME FOR MY HOBBY THAT WAS CHECKING SADDAM IN NINETIES UNTIL HE SPIRITED A “YOU BEAT ME” BACK THAT HAD ME RESPOND “WE WILL HAVE TO COME FOR YOU.”  SOME MAY REMEMBER FIRST REPORTS FROM IRAQ WERE THAT “SADDAM WAS FOUND IN A HOGAN” — I DID FAX WHITE HOUSE TO ASK THAT SUCH TELLING STOP.  “SPIDER HOLE” WORKS.

*I ALSO WANTED TO BE LIKE MY PATERNAL GRANDFATHER BUT WHILE BEING LIKE MY MATERNAL GRANDFATHER WHOM I SEEM TO HAVE BEEN PASSED SHOE AND HAT SIZE AND HEIGHT.  MY PATERNAL GRANDFATHER AS A CHILD WAS WITH AL CAPP (WHEN OF BORN NAME) THAT FATEFUL DAY THEY HITCHED A RIDE ON AN ICE TRUCK AND AL “CAPP” FELL OFF AND LOST HIS LEG UNDER A TROLLEY CAR.  MY MATERNAL GRANDFATHER DESIGNED SOME OR MOST OF J&J ‘NO MORE TEARS’ BABY SHAMPOO BOTTLE WITH TEAR DROP MOLDED INTO PLASTIC BOTTLE SHAPE.

*THE CLINTONS AND NINETIES DID MAKE MY EFFORTS TO OLYMPIC HOPES FOR NEW SPORT OF SNOWBOARDING AND A GREATER MARKET POTENTIAL MORE DIFFICULT AROUND VALUES ISSUES WITH THEM MORE OF CUTTING CORNERS.  I DID SPEND YEARS IN DC AREA AS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR MOSTLY A SOLE PROPRIETOR WORKING SOLO EVEN WHEN DESIGNING AND BUILDING ENTIRE NEW PORCHES OR THE ASYLUM WAKE SKATE SNOW SKATEBOARD STORES I DID MUCH DESIGN AND CUSTOM WELDING AND CONSTRUCTION WITH - AS IT WAS A BRANCH OFF OF INDEPENDENCE MANAGEMENT COMPANY INTERERST I WALKED INTO WHEN RENTING MY DC EASTERN MARKET APARTMENT ON CAPITOL HILL FROM THEN FLEDGLING IMC COMPANY WITH AN APARTMENT ON 7TH SE AND INDEPENDENCE IN THE INDEPENDENCE.

*OH, THE TWO “MATTS” FOR FRIENDS WAS FOR A WORKING OF MY MUSING AND NETWORKING SOMEWHAT AROUND MY YOUNGER BROTHER AND HIS BEST FRIEND MATT - THIS MATT’S FATHER DIDN’T JUST KNOW GEORGE W. BUSH WAS BORN A FEW BLOCKS AWAY BUT LEFT COLLEGE AS A WELL KNOWN CLASSMATE OF “W”.  I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS MATT’S OR HIS FATHER’S POLITICAL VIEWS THOUGH - I JUST TREATED MY BROTHER AS LIKE A SECOND MATT.

PRESIDENT NIXON WAS THE “LAW AND ORDER” PRESIDENT.  THE CLINTONS HAVEN’T BEEN NEARLY AS MUCH AS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE AND WANT PEOPLE TO THINK STILL.  I HAVE KNOWN WILLIAM BRATTON SINCE 1988 AND SO BEFORE HE AND A LATER NEIGHBOR OF MINE DEAN ESSERMAN DID WHAT THEY DID IN NYC WITH METRO/SUBWAY/TRANSIT POLICING.  THE CLINTONS MAD A MESS OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WITH THEIR EIGHT YEARS - WE ARE STILL IN IRAQ NOW AND IN AFGHANISTAN UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES SEEMINGLY MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM NOT HAVING HAD US IN BOTH THEN.  DID YOU LIKE “24″ AND CSI - I WAS IN AMISTAD FOR TWO DAYS WITH STEVEN SPIELBERG AND MANY OTHERS FOR A COURT ROOM SCENE WITH NOW “BRASS” FROM CSI PAUL GULFOYLE BEFORE A BRIEF VISIT TO OLD FRIENDS WHO WERE WITH NEW FRIENDS THEN STUDYING CRIMINOLOGY WITH HENRY LEE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN.

BUT WHAT GOT ME WONDERING WAS DISCOVERY AND SCIENCE CHANNEL AIRINGS OF WORLD TRADE CENTER RISING HOUR SHOWS DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG.  SEE I NEARLY SUBMITTED MY IDEA FOR CONSIDERATION IF TOWERS WERE TO BE REBUILT THAT THEY COULD BE REBUILT AS TWIN PENTAGONAL OBELISKS OF EQUAL OR GREATER HEIGHT.  SUCH DOCUMENTARIES SHOWED A SPOT WHERE NEW TALLEST TOWER THAT HAD BEEN APPROVED TO FIRST BE A NEW “LADY LIBERTY” WAS NOW BEING DESCRIBED AS LIKE AN OBELISK WHEN VIEWED FROM CERTAIN ANGLES.  I GOT TO REMEMBERING VAGUELY MY BLOGGED AND OR FAXED PROTESTATIONS ABOUT SUCH “LADY LIBERTY” DESIGN AS NOT ADDRESSING MUCH OF ARCHITECTURAL CONCERNS I THOUGHT PENTAGONAL OBELISKS WOULD.  CAESAR PELLI FIRM AND ROCHE DINKELOO FIRM WERE BOTH IN MY SOCIAL CIRCLE OF ULITIMATE FRISBEE FRIENDS IN 90s AND EVEN THE WESTCHESTER SUMMER LEAGUE MANY OF US COMMUTED TO PARTICIPATE IN.  I WELCOMED HEARING “OBELISK” ELEMENT OF NEW DESIGN BUT AS OF NOW KNOW NOTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT PROCESS THAT OCCURED FOR CHANGES TO FINAL DESIGNS I AM STILL ENJOYING LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT FOR THEIR GREAT THOUGHT AND NETWORKED PROCESS EVIDENT.

*OH, CONDOLEEZZA RICE IS ANOTHER PAST CLIENT - FOR NEW CLOSET DOORS WHILE BUSH’S NSA ADVISOR - THOUGHT OF HER THAT MORNING OF 9/11/01 AS I PASSED UP 17TH STREET ABOUT 8:45 AM BY OLD EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING TO INSTALL A NEW FRONT DOOR AND STORM DOOR IN GEORGETOWN AREA FOR ANOTHER CLIENT.  LARRY DI RITA AND HIS WIFE OUR FORMER AMBASSADOR TO TAIWAN DID LATER BECOME CLIENTS FOR A NEW DOOR AND CUSTOM DOLL SHELF.

*AGAIN:  THIS WAS AS STATED:  “TO BE BRIEF.”

{It happens to be Father's Day 2012 - and the Yankees had me remembering with their challenger in DC in my old stomping grounds.  See:  I would drive by site of new stadium to boats I was owning and restoring - I would drive or walk by as well to watch progress of new stadium or to take rocks or concrete to the business there for scrap of such and as well the Super Salvage scrap metal yard.  I as well as per sport would be there about if to either of the DC rec pools I would use or the public golf range near the Jefferson Memorial.  As of 2012 I am not a biological father yet - but I have been there over the years since conception as a "god-father" or "founding father" and supportive and directive to so much and with a willful integration of marketing and such to keep so much growing and developing well.}
