SPECIAL: Family & Friends Web Sites
Here are a few websites maintained by my family and friends. We share a common dream of freedom in our opinion and expression, learning from each other and communicating our knowledge and ideas through this new media, across all frontiers.
Stacy:
Stacy Sutton offers proven and effective teaching methods that meet the needs of both horse and rider. She is highly dedicated to providing professional riding instruction, to both adults and children, that is educational, personally rewarding, and fun.
Apex Farm sits in a park-like setting located in the horse-friendly community of Wilton, just 30 minutes south of Sacramento, California. Wilton has been called "the Silicon Valley of the horse world" due to its growing number of stables and horse-related events.
Steve:
Since 1974, selling homes and managing rental investments with Century 21, from just two offices in Cotati and Rohnert Park. I have 12 years experience in branch bank management, lending and customer service with Exchange Bank, Santa Rosa, Windsor and Cotati from 1961 to 1973 and spent 2 years with Sonoma State University as director of Student Financial Aid from 1973 to 1974.
Additional background includes designing and building our own home, managing a horse and cattle ranch, resident management of a 42-unit apartment building, and farm work as a youngster growing up in Salinas. I was raised in Spokane, Chicago and Salinas, CA.

Glen:
The “Wine to Corn” blog is a place to put down in words what I’ve gone through starting a new life in a new habitat. I am 42 years young. I say young because I haven’t had that day yet when I look or feel old.
I moved from Northern California to Central Illinois. There were several reasons for the move: better schools, cost of living, to be close to family, to get out of the rat race of the wine industry, basically to start a new life with less stress. I want to be able to be home more to see my son grow up the same way my dad did with me.
Yes, it’s cold here in the winter, but at least I can spend time with my family. One thing I hope to get out of this Blog is that maybe someone will learn from my experiences. OK, that’s a start. Let's see how it goes.

Music Matt:
Music Matt (aka Matthew Fisher) considers it a privilege to spend his time and energy sharing the beauty of his art with children every day. His family-friendly shows and down-to-earth approach to children has earned incredible support from his devoted fans.
Matt's music has earned accolades from parents and kids alike. His lyrics contain positive, uplifting messages that children and adults can relate to, and his music is lively and highly entertaining. Parents, this is music you won't mind letting your kids play over and over.
Anne & Jamie:
"I was looking out the kitchen window at about 10am and there was still a thick coat of frost on the neighbour's roof and on the fence posts, and when I took the recycling out to the curb about an hour later there was still ice on the puddles in the driveway! I've made a big pot of coffee and turned up the heat and watched Saturday Kitchen, which I love - it's a chance for my desperate need for Food TV get a bit of relief. I'm so excited about the weather! They're saying there's a chance for snow tomorrow."

Seanchan:
"All people can create. To make a better world, all people should create. If all people created, then objects would be thought of as having less value than the process of making them."
The Seanchan Show starts on October 3, 2006
Come and see wonderful folk do interesting things at Irelands 32 in San Francisco
Each person is doing their own thing. Anything they wish to do for 3 to 15 minutes
Adrianne:
Contradictions 2
I am confident.
Calm, poised.
No one and nothing can stand in my way.
I am a strong woman –
Woman of strength;
I can make it on my own.
If I had a little more follow-through, I could be a testament to the new generation
Of confident, calm, poised, strong, independent women.
But sometimes I need to put my arms around you and know that you’re there,
Solid and permanent,
And that you won’t go away.

Sophia:
"I will never stop discovering, from the time I enter into this world till the present. I'm constantly learning, evolving, exploring..
The world has so much to offer, to teach, for us to absorb. Only with thirst for knowledge comes adventure. Have you ever wonder, when you re-visit a place and how much the place have change! Even in your own back yard can be change over night! We might visit the same place and the same time, we might experience differently. I might discovery or seen something new. Or I might have the dullest time and others might have wonderful time adventure. The world keeps changing everyday, there is always a new place waiting to be discovery. "

Stefan:
"i'm excited about a world so big and complex that i can never fail to be amazed at all the things that it has to offer. my fears are based on illusions, half-truths, questions i've refused to ask, and on my lack of personal experience. i try to challenge myself and those around me to ask 'why". to not accept the status quo, but to shake it up, mix the paints, discover new colors and combinations."
Kathy:
"We're a group of women & a couple of guys (yes, guys are welcome too!) who meet every week for a couple hours of public knitting or crocheting. We always welcome new people. None of us teach knitting professionally but we're happy to give guidance & to get you on your way to knitting your first scarf."

Percy:
Percy Howard and I made a few good recordings together in the band Nus. Percy's current meridiem release, "A Pleasant Fiction", features Vernon Reid, Bill Laswell, Charles Hayward, Haroun Serang, Happy Rhodes, DK Dyson, Eraldo Bernocchi, Buckethead, and Jarboe.
Tracy:
Drum Magazine calls Tracy a "Tasty, well executed, groove-oriented drummer." I prefer the simplicity of saying that he is both a great drummer and a friend. Find out when he's playing and go listen to some fabulous drumming that is sensitive, subtle and yet full of a powerful confidence.
Chris:
Chris Bettencourt was one of my closest friends. A passionate, sincere and gifted talent who deeply affected the lives of those around him. Janine has created a wonderful site in memory of his lovable, artistic spirit.
