About BossKitty
BossKitty is the result of a Liberal Arts Major who dreamed of becoming a Physicist. Serendipity had other plans for me …
First real job was Photogrammetry mapping the earth … Then along came the dream of taking humanity into the cosmos …
20 Years at the Manned Spaceflight Center – Johnson Space Center
We made history when I was there.
From Apollo 14 to the end of the program
After Apollo, then on to NBC.
then, back to NASA From STS-4 through STS 84 
Between my Apollo years and Space Shuttle years, I was a Photographer, Cinematographer and Producer for NBC television in Illinois. After a short retirement from NASA, where I worked with NASA, ESA and Russia to 
develop the International Space Station, then retired before launch. Between the Space Program and the US Treasury, I wrote one terrific, unsold screenplay. Dabbled with Legal video, deposition summaries & documentary photo support as a Freelancer. Worked for the US Treasury just under 11 years.
Now, I am really retired and working harder than ever before … on my own daunting mission to play catch up with my life. Finding myself no longer restricted to the opinions of my employers, I am compelled to speak my OWN mind, finally. Plus, all the artwork and music I have neglected, must be addressed. Love to SKETCH – no more paint . I can finally plant my own garden, build my own meditation benches and bird houses. I love the hands on, get dirty feel of working outside. When I wear myself out, I come to the blog to catch my breath.
I cann
ot isolate Islam as the sole perpetrator of today’s religio-political insanity. The whole family of Abraham has lost its way, if not its collective mind.
If there is an Armageddon, it is one of our own making, a self-fulfilling death wish. What religious extremists are promoting is the concept that god is so ashamed of creation, that it must be wiped out and maybe try again, somewhere else.
Short term thinking and immediate gratification are the most dangerous qualities of today’s “want it now” society. I am drawn back to that old hippie paperback, a must re-read, ‘Zen, And
The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance’. Maybe Zen can be accused of focusing on
the moment, but remember that Zen does not want that moment to be wasted on ‘immediate trivialities’ having no positive impact on the future. This book made a convincing swipe at the ‘throw away, superficial’ culture America devolved in to. This premise is
coming home to bite us now. We live the results of a non-forward thinking society. I just hope there are enough brain cells among today’s population to make a difference and try to adapt so humanity can recover.
The Neo-Left Wing and the Neo-Right Wing must be used to fly us along a middle path forward, instead of ripping it apart, . Extremism on both sides destroys any country apart with best intentions and no oversight. Somewhere near the middle way, BossKitty can be found …

Sorry for sending you this information through a comment, I was unable to find a contact e-mail to message this through.
Texas Freedom Network will be hosting two conjoined events in Houston on January 25th that I felt may be an item of interest to you and your readers. The first event will be a symposium at Rice University on Religion in the 2012 Elections and the second will be a speaking engagement with Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Leonard Pitts. In an election year when so much is at stake, why do our politics remain fixated on the culture wars? Both events will focus on examining the turbulent intersection between politics and religion. Here is the general information for both events:
Religion in the 2012 Elections Symposium:
Location: James A. Baker III Hall, Rice University (6100 Main Street)
Time: 1-4:30 PM
Price: Free
An Evening with Pulitzer-Prize Winning Columnist Leonard Pitts:
Location: Congregation Emanu-El (1500 Sunset Boulevard)
Time: 7:00 PM
Price: $20 (Admission free for students who RSVP by e-mail)
The website for the event and purchasing tickets is at http://www.tfn.org/symposium. If you would be able to place this information on your website and/or social media currents, we would greatly appreciate it. Please let me know if you would like any further information regarding these two events.

Thank you Daniel, You are added to my blogroll. I enjoy your page and agree that more damage is done in the name of religion than any other excuse. Any religious extreme is a mental illness that too often is programmed into the young. These youngsters are then at the mercy of religious leaders with political power ambitions. Pure religion is supposed to be a moral spiritual guide, not a weapon of intimidation.
Your blog is great! Wanted you to know I am adding you to my blogroll.

Max, consider it done. Moinansari was quick to jump on your name. He had so many other names to pick from. My apology for the MY error. Hopefully Moinansari will see who he really needs to attack. I vow to be more prudent how I cite my sources.
May I ask that you correct your blog posting, “US Backed Dictators Cause Backlash Of Terrorism,” which makes it seem that I am the author of the entire blog posting. You quote, without citation, a blurb that I wrote for the back of David Schmitz’s book, The United States and Right-Wing Dictatorships, 1965-1989. One reader of your blog has already attacked me for the opinions you expressed because your posting concludes with my name. You are of course welcome to cite this or any other text, but I wish you would do so with enough information and in such a format that readers can distinguish between your work and my words. Many thanks.
Thanks Gadfly, browsing through my blog stats, I click check to see who came by. When I enjoy what I find I blogroll them and make them part of my extended family. Besides, we are both on the OOIBC blogroll.
I don’t have a Facebook account, but will check it out.
I really enjoy your page, it stimulates that creative niche I misplaced. You offer refreshing and diverse subject matter.
Thank you for adding me to your blogroll. I created a page for your blog on Facebook’s Networked Blogs App. Shoot me an email or reply here with info on how you found my blog, why you linked to it and what you want to see more of on my blog.
