In 1993, I began writing 'The Blue Penguin Report', I was 29. I wrote about finance, markets, currencies, macro-political trends, first in a mailer,. then an e-mail.
In 1997, I built a website, called 'The Ice Flow', which was the home for the BPR and other financial musings, but my personal life intervened. BPR was a blog before the blog was born.
In 2000, I stopped writing about finance exclusively and began writing politics, trying to keep the US from slipping into the path it took that November.
In 2003, New Hampshire Girl and I moved back to Manhattan, to live and breathe with others who walked the Earth aware.
In 2004, I met Steven, a brilliant scientist and world citizen, whose smarts and work ethic inspired me to try again. I downloaded my brain and experience into his big mind and shook him vigorously to insure a good flow and no backwater developments.
In 2007, I started writing a daily Sports Blog for the Sporting News that got me used to the daily cycle of sports and allowed me to stretch my non-fiction skills into less serious topic areas. The column was 'The Magic Carpet. and my persona, Vagabond Guru.
I met Mary there, and she, Steven and I created Vagabond Guru, the Website.
Mary developed a bad case of non-specific, non-displaced kookiness and vigorous shaking only seemed to exacerbate the problem, but she is so fucking creative, wonderful and devoted, that her presence became even more vital, even as she reaches into the annoying bag for a Gaylord Perry pitch and slimed all over the sweet delicate virgin sensibilities of Steven. (poor dear).
Somewhere in there we met Bethie, and brought Brian into our midst, and all sorts of stuff resulted, the upshot of which, Brian the magnificent human being, human beatbox, impressionist, encyclopedia of porn, comedy and sports trivia, noted stalker of anchor women and early season 'Biggest Loser' casualties brought his charm, humor, perspective and vision to VG.
So we have four talented, diverse, types who communicate rather well.
