I am a retired systems programmer from Omaha Nebraska.
I am married with children and grandchildren.
I'm here to find people who share my values and interests,
including music, classic movies, literature, and philosophy.
The best story I've read so far in my Sci-fi anthology
is E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops".
Published in 1909, it predicts the Internet.
I highly recommend it.

Howard Pyle's "The Story of King Arthur" was OK.
I prefer T.H. White's "The Once and Future King"
and Mary Stewart's "Merlin Trilogy".

Eros and Thanatos: Always the conflict between
the desire to reveal and the desire to conceal.
The desire for intimacy vs. the desire for security.

The other was "Fear In The Night" starring
DeForest Kelly (I'm a doctor, not a murderer),
based on the short story "Nightmare" which
I read years ago.

I often write about the internal
conflict between The Id and The Ego,
the conflict that Cohen refers to
at the end of "Bird on the Wire":
the beggar on his wooden crutch
and the woman in her darkened door.

I intend to eventually post
those two poems here on Bluesky.
