"Americans today probably belong to the first generation on earth that looks at a pain-free life as something like a constitutional right."

The Joy of Thriving by Jack Ricchiuto

“This is a manifesto for our liberation into a new world consciousness and healing into wholeness.”

Can’t wait to read my friend and teacher’s latest book.

Our second short video, my friend Larry Stewart and I discuss driving thru Cleveland, the most notable Clevelander at that time, getting older, and what love would be like at his age. Enjoy.

Tonight I was told “no fighting. Make happy together.” I was buying cigarettes too.

I’ve started a new project. I’m calling it “Writing With Larry”. One of my new friends, Larry Stewart, is a writer. When I say he’s a writer, I mean the butt in chair for twelve hours a day writer. If I can learn from a fraction of what he’s know from working on several books simultaneous, I’ll be an amazing writer by the time I’m his age.

In this first video we talk about growing up here in the Bay Area in the 60’s, meeting Hunter Thompson, gangs, growing up and getting old. Hopefully you enjoy watching it as much as I do talking with Larry, and look forward to more as much as me.

Why ClePlusSucks.com?

After being asked again what put me over the top. Here’s an explanation and a sort of an apology.


Several years ago during the halcyon days of Brewed Fresh Daily, I was bemoaning about all the negativity in the comments to my friend Jack Ricchiuto. He suggested I create an alternative blog

I blame an adverse reaction to Lipitor and the lack of quality Medical Marijuana

Grateful to be able to wait across the street while a new friend figures out how to help his stepdaughter with immigration issues. He doesn’t know it but there’s a hot sandwich waiting for him
