Hi I'm John! Thank you for looking at my web page.
Whether you are from my town, my country or anywhere in the World (or Universe for that
mater) I bid you greetings! If you don't get anything else out of reading this: know that
I wish you and yours "Peace and happiness" Below, you will find some of the
things that are important to me:
But first: |
| I wanted to share one of my
favorite quotes, something I read in the Baja Sun: "Until one is committed,
there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts
of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills
countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never
otherwise have occurred. |
A whole stream of events
issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and
meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Gorthe's couplets: Whatever you can do, or dream
you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." W.E. Murray The
Scottish Himalayan Expedition If you understand that, you are way smarter than me and
should be reading something else. |

Why is my nickname
"XWINO"?
Frankly, because years ago, I had quite a drinking problem, in fact I was a
"wino", that is, I was an alcoholic and drank wine because it did the job for
less money.
I joined a twelve step program .in Feb. 1972. Thanks to
God and the program, I haven't had a drink since. Hence the nickname "Xwino"
