"Life is just a moment - when you find a good one you don't let it go". I was born on the old continent in a country that does not exist any more. I have "landed on the Plymouth Rock" (Calgary to be precise) at the age of twenty three. I've thought that I was, I've seen myself as a grown man but it was many years later that I relizaid that I was only youngster at that time. Nevertheless I've packed an assosiate degree in natural sciences, glider pilot certificate, navy trained scuba diver - a comando unit member in compulsary (!) military service. Besides science I do have appreciation and love of arts - especionaly writen word. That is reading AND writing. I speak three languages (lost one), read and write three alphabets. I would like to regain lost language and pick up one more. So proces of living continues keeping on mind that it is easy to see a specle in somebody's else eye, yet fail to notice torn in your own.

Hamigway was quoted saying: "All stories end up in death."

He an the American expats Paris clique were idealistic which was the chararistic of their times: International Brigade in Spanish civil war... But now that Comunisam is no more, capitalisam is proped by printer trilion dolars (for which there is no gold to back it up..).

The following could be said for our times:

There is nothing to live for,

There is nothing to die for,

O)nly thing left is just to observe

Life as it is passing by,

With the wisper of ever elusive question: Why?

As they did before us,

After us the others will come,

But the question will remain

The same: Why?
