Aloha Old Hippy,

When I was growing up, my father used to read my brother and me a bedtime story. We would snuggle in his lap with our bankies and stuffed animals, and he would lead us into a different world as he voice-acted the stories. It was very special and I would feel sooo content and happy.

Your stories make me feel the same way.

You may be an old hippy and a Caribbean budget travel advisor and a beer drinker and a self-seeker, but ..............
you are one damn good storyteller.

P.S. do you still look like Jesus - just curious.

Q. P.S. do you still look like Jesus - just curious?

A. No...Today I look more Like Jerry Garcia....

[that is: Death warmed over!]

No...Like many old hippies, oldhippy has gone to seed.

Today kids call me: Santie Claus!

Look for the continuation of my hippy tale in 1 week, under the..."Ask oldhippy" thread.

Thanks, Old Hippy, see ya in a week - "I'll be there or be square"

J. Christ and J. Garcia are both good looking dudes. Santie Claus worked for me up until about age 6, but no longer. I have just seen too many of them in suburban shopping malls and begging for $ for Salvation Army.

One more thing, Old Hippy. Festival Express showed at our local film festival last summer. Was that ever cooooooooool!!! There were lots of Jesus and Jerry Garcia look-a-likes. Were you one of them?

Hi, oldhippy, I like your stories of 60's very much, and very curious of the latter part you didn't post, could u give me a copy? Thanks.

Whoops - I don't know what happened but the photo above is a cropped version of the photo I intended to post. Feel free to post the entire photo if you would prefer to see that.

yes..lets see that whole photo!

The oldhippy story continues with parts 2 & 3 on page 3 on the "ask oldhippy" thread. [The story begins on page 1. Look for it a few posts down]

FYI...I added two travel stories to the "ask oldhippy thread"...page #4.

Thank you for your patience!
