When people first meet me they usually say: "I can't believe your age (=78) - you seem like a young person to me." I sometimes do clowning; I have four clown characters - Marko Bozo ( a vanilla flavored clown);Horrible Herbert - the teenager from hell; Tatiana Trailertrash - female - very outrageous; Wambush the wannabe shaman.

I am a shamanic practitioner; trained by Michael Harner (Foundation for Shamanic Studies).
