I could be myself and not worry about what other people think. They’re on a different path, and if I knew their story, I would see that they’re doing their best with what they’ve been given. I can stay on my side of the street. Like the three frogs on a log, we can continue …

What are your favorite websites? The biggest wonder I’ve seen in my time are the improvements in the internet and media sites. I’ve always wanted to be a radio star, a game show host, or an open mic comedian. YouTube makes all this possible! We can be our creative selves and be a host, a …

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? The best piece of advice I’ve ever received was to do nothing and stay in Hawaii. As a twenty-nine year resident of San Francisco I thought it would be a good idea to go move back there now that COVID is over—to find my heart—and be …
How Would You Design the City of the Future?
In the future of the world of George Lucas–of Star Wars fame–the modern central system city is filled with flying cars moving smoothly, but in a somewhat congested city, with tall gleaming buildings.
