Whether they are New Yorkers, Texans, Californians or Parisians, I have never had much use for folks who had to draw on imaginary attributes of geography to make up for all too real deficits of personality.

For someone who seems to have made up his onscreem name from John Muir and some California trees while living in Connecticut, ragging other people about geographical attributes seems unseemly.

As my wife entered her 4th year with cancer and just after they told her it was metastatic and terminal, we visited the west coast and the Muir woods. She told me it was one of the most peaceful places she had ever been and she sensed a feeling of strength and permanence there that was missing from so mant aspects of her life with the disease. She asked me to spread her ashes there when the time came. I chose it as a screen name then. A few years later, on August 23, 2004 I followed through on her wishes.

Got an issue with that?
