My dearest friend Steve Jobs? No, not really.

I’m reading the Steve Jobs book. Certainly a man who came into this world with an attitude. Good or bad? Not really sure.

However, he certainly would not be counted among my friends had I known him. Growing up Okie in L A, I was very much put off by “Wise Asses.” Just did not want to be around them. Always thought they were just there to take advantage of any situation just to prove how smart they were. And, this is the impression I get from Jobs.

Certainly a guy with measurable intelligence but lacking compassion and understanding. Some might call him a jerk. I just might as well. Please excuse my lack of regard for the dead.

Anyway, I have a ways to go in reading his book. And, I must admit it’s a struggle. Nonetheless, I shall finish the book. Happy reading and Happy Holidays.

Just finished reading Walt Disney's Bio

Book Review:

Walt Disney, The Triumph of the American Imagination.

By, Neal Gabler, 2006

Disney one of my all time heroes.  How he morphed Mickey Mouse into feature length animations and ended up with Disneyland and more.  From disappointment to celebrations then over and over again.  Fastidious, demanding, and married to his work.  Dedicated to the child in all of us. Walt Disney was a true American legend

Disneyland 1957 and by coincidence, I sat next to Walt Disney while riding the Main Street Trolley.  All be it only for about 90-seconds.  I was absolutely speechless and stared straight ahead.  See my journal, Okie Without Borders and arrow to “Me and Walt Disney.”  In the OWB archives.
