Residing In:	Auburn, CA USA

Spouse/Partner:	Rebecca Kleiner (Hopefully the last, and definitely the best wife)

Homepage:	www.edoconnell.net

Occupation:	Atheist & Reprobate (Professional Kinds)

Children:	Don't know where most of my kids or their mothers are. Hope they don't find out where I am ... don't More…

Military Service:	Norwegian A.F. - Barely got out w/an honorable.

Comments:

I've mostly been an alcoholic and a drug addict. Spent time in prisons, rehabs (before they became fashionable), detox centers, and nut houses. Robbed liquor stores for awhile before being fired by my gang for parallel parking while stoned during one of our robberies. (Hard to escape fast when you're parallel parked in case you ain't figured that one out.)

Lived on the streets for about 10 years during the 70's (see You-Tube interviews), but from what I've heard I didn't miss much. Got sober around '78 and decided to make a lot of money and live a life of leisure which I've done and am doing.

Turned into a full-blooded Atheist (or Secular Humanist to be more p.c.) when I found out that our church leaders were lyin' about sex not bein' some kind of "sin" and not any fun. Fact is they lied about almost everything.

When I came back off the streets I ... well, the rest is just so much b.s., except for Rebecca. She puts the light in my corneas, keeps me mostly civil, and teaches me all about love.

Hope you all had as much fun during your *Earthwalk*; enjoyed the craziness of it all; and generally lived as empty, selfish, narcissistic, unrepentant, and meaningless an existence as I have. Damn, but it's been excitin' so far!

School Story:

Got caught smoking in the confessionals in the chapel. No punishment because Hurly made a deal with me -- if I kept my mouth shut he'd "overlook" this one *small* infraction since I was a basketball superstar making money for the school. Later came to find out his whole purpose for bein' at Marin Catholic was to get it out of the red. No wonder the 'ol catholic church is havin' so much trouble ... it's become its own antichrist.

Jeezus! What is it now? 77? We're beatin' the odds. 'Course you're the only one left besides me who still looks halfway alive. Happy "Continuation Day". // Hope you're mom finally forgave you for all the pain you cause her at childbirth. Mine never did and Elsie and Jack always loved Ronnie better'n me, which caused my alcoholism, narcotics addiction, some criminal activity and rickets. // Hope your earthwalk goes on for a bit longer. // Bye-the-bye, you bein an attorney-type, can I get reparations for the couple years I spent in jail for cannabis now that it's legal? Just wonderin'? -- 'Ol Ed of Auburn (the one in Kalifornikrazy).

I'd share my thoughts, but then I'd be arrested.

You're about the only thing I miss since moving to Auburn. And did yer mom complain, like mine did, about all the pain you caused her during child-birth? My mom actually reminded me every year on my "Continuation Day" that she had me circumcized "just to get even". Sigh ...

Pic of my multicultural "outfit" taken a couple years ago before I decided to promote a G.M. (the dude just behind Rebecca w/ the kid) and quit workin' for a livin'... not that anyone'd ever accuse me of overworkin' anytime previous to my quittin'. Nice havin' a cash-cow spittin' out money while I chase around and otherwise waste my time and talents. I'm a firm believer in living off the labor of others and have a deep and abidin' affection for the capitalistic system. I think I'm like 'ol Crowe in that respect -- Jerry Crowe, not the whiskey, though the two do blend together. Rebecca, my last and best wife, is to my left and the dog, "DownBoy" is a fake.

My real dog, Spot. Celebrating Easter, 2010.

Lake Lagunitas (Marin open space -- my backyard) on the way up to Mt. Tam in the background. 'Bout a 3-1/2 hr. roundtrip ride for an elder. Apr. 2010.

Vespa I bought about a year-and-a-half ago. Rather be on 2 wheels than 4. Also ride a '94 classic Honda 750cc Magna (pic below). Does anyone really give a crap about all this or is it totally narcissistic? And yeah, I pretty much laughed my way through life ... so far.

Along w/ my mountain bike and Vespa, this is the only way to travel. Learned to ride in Synanon, about 1975, when I was recovering from one of my alcohol and cocaine runs.

My best friend, Jim Sciaroni, and two visiting Swiss girls we met on Mt. Tam. I loaned 'em a couple of my bikes and we all road to the top. And you wonder why I love Mtn. Bikin' so much?!
