Comment on Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz—Still Surfing at 90 by Franko

I saw Surfwise last night. I am recently a self diagnosed aspergers syndromer surfer.
I couldnt help but question the effect of autistic genes in the Paskowitz families experiences, and I dont just mean the grandson.
Personally, I felt the health and home schooling direction a subconscious attempt at improving the family jewels before modern living takes its toll on the family dna.
Anyways, my dad was an Dutch jew autistic born in the year of the rooster 1933, bold, different and fiercely idealistic. He was a strict father who sometimes performed badly due to unrealised autistic motivations and problems.
I only mention all this not to harangue Dorian in his later years, I only discovered my family’s autism(aspergers) at 47years old!

But rather, as a tool for understanding the wild and beautiful eye of the tornado that is sometimes life.
HOWEVER, cramming all the family in a small space for so long, having them endue cramped conditions and sex noises is morally wrong in the context of these children’s peers and national social moors.
Aspies are awful at understanding the importance of social consequence

The awesome thing is that, after I tweeted this article, I got a reply from some account called @lokicuki: “There is nothing worse than imagination without taste. #fortunecookie”

Although there are a lot of restaurants in San Fran, they’re yours to discover. Unless you want to wait for a 500 page article that’s released in 2040.
Yelp has never let me down:

I’ve been a follower of Joey’s works for just over two years now and consider myself to be a long distance friend. Every video Joey produces has some kind of meaning to it. They give the ones who have always wondered what the streets of NYC are like a very good, truthful and honest perspective. As harsh as Joey may appear at times, he has a wonderful heart inside and it can be witnessed thru his “911″ video, (personally, I think his best one to date). If you follow him on a daily basis you’ll come to know and see just what a fantastic person he trully is. I have been intriqued and fascinated by him and his ventures. I only wished I was able to walk those streets right alongside him.

Comment on Evolving the Concept of Camp: Catching up with Daniel Rinzler by Overnight Camp New York Bookmark

I do believe that children who are sent to summer camps in their school time help them a lot later on in life. Being having fun they also learn to interact and take responsibilities. The case of Rinzler is a true inspiration.
