Welcome to The Epic! I am launching this blog as a manifesto for and a guide to living well. The title and motto of the blog are taken from the Epicureans, at least some of whom believed in the notion that not one minute of the future was guaranteed to them and that as a result they had the duty to live life to its fullest every moment.
I believe in discovering fun and pleasurable things wherever I find myself each day and I am told I have a knack for unearthing them. My hope is that by sharing in my pleasures and some of my ways of finding them you will begin to collect all the riches that lie in the moments of your life. They are there. Take them! All our lives should be.....Epic.
Typically, we go bird hunting early thursday morning before the turkey meal. In contrast to our deer hunts, in which we try to get primal and serious and deadly, for us wingshooting is nothing more than a stroll in the woods punctuated by much laughter and jocularity. It's the most juvenile thing I do armed. It ends at back at our trucks where we all share a gallon of eggnog spiked with Maker's Mark. After that gallon, the Holidays officially begin.
In my early 60s, widower, father and itinerant storyteller. I am a putative jazz singer, poet and novelist, dedicated to mining every minute of life for the veins of pleasure they contain. My motto is "Dum Vivimus, Vivamus"..."While we Live--LET US LIVE".
