ABOUT RAY Name: Ray Carlson Location: Redwood City, California, United States Birthdate: 1960-11-28 Email: raycarlson @ raycarlson.com Bio: When I was born, I tried to come out of the womb shoulder-first. From that point on, I've been an unstoppable nonconformist. I've learned to adapt and be flexible, to get along with others, to give people and ideas a chance. But I've never stopped questioning authority. My kids take after me by questioning my authority. I'd expect no less of them. I've been writing all of my life, and have kept a journal often and for many years, albeit a personal one. These days, my personal life is loud but peaceful. And that one is actually more of a book, "Jane and Ray Save the World". My wife is a practical genius(not to be confused with others who may be "practically a genius"), and is possessed with a never-ending desire to serve humanity. She and my mother are the most profound gifts of my life. I write about things in the world that need to change, within the USA in particular. I dedicate it to those whose lives are sacrificed daily to the corporate-driven gods of greed. Accordingly, you can expect to see this journal filling up in no time, and with entries for some time to come. If you feel a connection with me and/or my ideas, feel free to email me at: raycarlson @ raycarlson.com I'm a card-carrying member of the ACLU, in case you haven't guessed. Interests: 8: magic, music, mysticism, politics, psychology, shamanism, sociology., states of consciousness
