AN UNSUNG HERO:

My photo
Naturalist by devotion, humorist by genetics, hero by default; Kamaroh is a Republican, a Presbyterian, a Polio surviver, a former US Marine, & Great Plains Badger. Earned an MA in English from SFSU. Student & friend of novelist Kay Boyle. His blog is a no profanity zone. There is little edgey emotionalism if he avoids thinking about his children. Kamaroh is a masculinist, places value on fraternity & believes living stag is a responsible and manly option. Particularly apreciative of the charm of Asian females, he discovered in 1999 he is able to love one small lady to the extreme that thinking about her can make his nose bleed. From boyhood forward, he values having male friends & male role models; though this blog is an extention of that belief; it is all welcome. Though containing male posturing, biased poetry, shakey facts, & faulted bachelor housekeeping, this blog's intent is to be good for your health & contains no spanky material. Pardon me if I am speaking too loudly because even with the high tech ... hearing aids the Veterans Administration provides to me, I do not have normal hearing.

Deepak Chopra Hearts San Francisco


I struggle always to describe the way I feel about San Francisco and the reason that I am compelled always to find reasons why I must take day trips from Muirsville and visit her on a regular basis. The motivator of mine I once wrote about that I like the best is that I must go to the City to see how she is feeling and to check her pulse. It is much deeper than that for me but that is about all I am able to reach; that's about as lyrical as I can manage; I just don't know what more there is too freshly say about the lure and the charm of the city by the bay.... and that is the reason that I decided to write about what Deepok Chopra had recently to say about San Francisco when he was here.
...This is from a piece written by Ceilie Millner that I read the Sunday, Nov. 1, Chronicle in the Style section of the paper and is his responce, in Kamarohs parlance, when asked what his opinion of San Francisco is: Not too many cities have a soul. A city must have some rough edges in orde to have a soul and SF has one that is Bohemian, relaxed and friendly. It is a generous place and you can spot that by how it treats its homeless.
...It struck me, after I read the complete article that, given I know how difficult it is to articulate one's sentiments about her majesty San Francisco, Deepak Chopra has done a good job of saying how he felt about the The City and that I would like to write about it in my blog. He has written a new book called Reinventing The Body, Resurecting the Soul: How To Create A New You. I believe I will buy a copy if the seller of it will take Pay Pal.
