Thank you for visiting these pages. We'd all love it if you'd Add to this guestbook! The time shown on the posts is Pacific Coast Time. You do the math.


I'm native to the Savannah area and seeing your pictures make me incredibly homesick. I long for the the marshes, dolphins, beach and sunrise. I'm looking forward to a visit to HHI in March '05 when I'll be able to breathe the marsh air and run my toes throught the sand . . . even so it's not the same as Tybee or Savannah. Post more pictures . . . it's like looking at pictures from a friend to remind you how beautiful the Low Country can be . . . .T:)

Hey, John!

You just never know when a bad penny (or a firely) will surface again! Been a while, hmmm? (canadian "eh?). Like the new version (maybe not so new, but I haven't been on line for a while) of your site. Took me about three days once I was re-connected to remember your site name! Jeesh...fireflies are soooooo ummmmm "flitty".

sorry I didn't reply to that long ago e-mail - long story made short: computer crashed, firefly moved and it took (financially speaking mostly) a long time to get the "stuff" back assembled. Now using Windows XP and all the free download FTP sites, etc etc.

Send me a note some time (assuming the usual hurricanes have left you standing and operational) and that forgiveness for lost time is assumed *grin*...

(hugs to you and Melissa)...f'fly

I read many of your "letters to a soldier", and they reminded me so nostalgically of my own. I saved them just like you did. I was in the Army from 1968-1970, one year at Fort Bliss and one year in Nam." Great Site!

I might just steal a leaf and link mine to the voy site too...it's SO difficult to get people to write, doncha know! "grin"...Thanks for stopping by the "magic" pages, again (and for your ever-kind words). I've been busy having my bathroom torn apart (I should have the tub and shower back by Wednesday...no stinky comments, please!) and wishing for the heat to come back..we went from plus 30 last week to minus 5 this a.m. Ah, the joys of living in the frozen and mythical land of Ott.
Keep writing...I just read the "isn't it Friday, yet?" story...boy, can I associate with those emotions..looking forward to the next episode:)...f'fly

John -- Hi Lori -- There are Ft Knox pics on the Pictures page. If you'd like to see more let me know. Did you take Basic Training there? Here are more Ft. Knox pictures.
I came across your site while searching for some Karla Bonoff lyrics and info. I have to agree with you, she is one of the warmest and purest vocalist with song that touch your soul. She has been a major influence in my own music. Most people have never heard of her, and they are truly missing out. I'm glad I found another fan. debbie

P.S. Thanks for the glimpse into your world, I will be back!

hiya "storypile" :0)...I've been following your stories ...every time I read one (like Father's day) I feel this overwhelming urge to write something...but it passes! Aren't people (specially families) peculiar in a special way? guest books and message boards and the trying to "stay-in-touch" syndrome especially..it doesn't strike everyone, does it? or perhaps it does, and that's another thing that just kind of "passes" as we scurry through our days...speaking of which...time to scurry on thro:)....i love "remarkable times" cause it's the little stuff that sticks with us...just like the dandelion fluff floating thro the Ott air tonite...f'fly

This is (finally!) a "Dear John" letter to you...I've read all your stories (every word) and all your letters...and I have such great admiration, not only for the way you phrase them, but for the ummm would you say "courage"? it takes to put your life on the net...I've been writing a series of journals since I was 10 and that's a long way to fly, and I'm still contemplating whether I would have the intestinal fortitude to put some of it in an electronic firefly journal..we'll see...meantime, I enjoy your pages...and your little lectures on the message board, too *evil grin*...cya soon...(f'fly)...p.s. I still cannot edit the Wizard's Guest Book....so you're stuck in there for eternity or until GO stops, whichever comes first :)

Thanks for your help. I was wiped when I picked up your note and need to get to church to sing for the morning, so will give your advice a try when I return. I am still not clear on something you wrote, but will get to you as soon as I work at the "problem". Thank you....you are the only one who responded to my plea. I appreciate your time. Sure would like to get up to where you are with all you have on the web. peace and hugs....Jo

I just read a couple of your latest entrys. On the one you talked about your back problems and resuming exersizing, notably running. I liked your contribution to the discovery of the use of stomach muscles in assisting the use of other body parts. One advantage of pulling in the gut is the perfection of posture. Standing or sitting in a perfect upright position not only improves ones appearance but helps the rest of the body to keep healthy and perform as nature intended. Keep up the good work of staying fit and try to outlive your old man. Fri.10/6

John, you have a webpage that is so nice. Usually I will not read all small details of the others. But not yours! I feel a real friend that is close to me telling me about life. Even I don't know you. Every piece in your webpage is so good. I looked at some of your picture and they are very professional indeed. Since you are so good at it, I very be grateful if you give some suggestions on my site if you have a chance. thanks bopan

I'm glad to hear you are running, a simply wonderful way to get into, and staying in, shape. Next, you can try yoga, a simply wonderful way to keep stretched after the rigors of a run. Remember: you are as young as you are flexible. Bill

Finally, finally, I checked out your web page, after finding the address at the end of the email Jim sent you yesterday. I enjoyed the images of driving pell-mell down south toward your new home in Georgia, trying to outrun Morpheus and her sweet arms of sleep. I suddenly remembered once when I visited you-in Virginia, I think- while you were stationed in the Army. You were driving my mustang, it was night, I was dozing next to you, then suddenly I was jolted awake by a sudden swerve of the car. Apparently, you fell asleep at the wheel ( great Austin Western Swing band, by the way) and at the last moment, at the edge of a cliff, you awakened from your nap and averted a potentially spectacular car crash, you know the kind--the car arcing over the edge, voices from inside screaming hopelessly, the horrendous crash and fiery explosions as we tumbled over and over into the blackness below. Anyway, I'm glad you stopped for the night for some sleep. The story of our flight from hurricane Floyd brought back so many pleasant memories of your home, the beaches, the routine of running around Wilmington island...I really love your homestead and its environs. I, too, wrote in my journal of the adventure of evacuation, and you summed it up beautifully. It truly was a Circus Maximus, a carnival of humanity that stretched the length of the interstate. I love reading your little vignettes. Keep 'em coming. Bill Schneider, Mountlake Terrace, WA

Webmaster's note: That wasn't me "dozing next to you," that was me experimenting with some illegal substance and finally coming out of it! In God's hands we truley were that day, fer sher!
These were some great stories, particularly about Sasha and the baby duck. I hope your cat is doing well. As far as the duck is concerned, remember, not one bird falls out of the sky without our Father knowing of it. Keep the faith.
God Bless
