See Care's 2007 Clareware Show

An Award Winning Writer. Totally Paul has received the Pulitzer Prize award for his writing - Uh... Correction. Totally Paul has been given a Pullet Surprise awarded for his whining. It seems he was whining about being hungry so his wife cooked him her famous omlet, the Pullet Surprise.

Totally Paul was born in 1954, so he refers to himself as a late baby-bloomer. (Baby-Bloomer is not a typo)

He was infatuated by the screaming girls while watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964, so he learned to play the guitar. The girls obviously didn't notice. He did have a rock band in the 1970's, named Hott Soxx. Their biggest gig was playing at a state home for the mentally handicapped. The boys in the band felt right at home.

Although Totally Paul was at one time casually involved in the drug culture, he quickly left it when he met a man in California whom the Hell's Angels were out to kill. His rock band fell apart when a founding member was jailed for armed robbery and the bass player's brother was shot to death outside a bar.

Totally Paul began writing during his grade school days. He noticed he must have some talent when in 4th grade his class cracked- up laughing when he read his homework assignment, which was to write a story using that week's spelling words. His 5th grade class put on Totally Paul's play about George Washington.

Totally Paul admits that when he would read the word, author, he would imagine a "really cool guy sitting in a really cool chair by a really cool desk." Someday, maybe two out of three, for Totally Paul.

Flying has always fascinated Totally Paul. He became a Private Pilot in 1980. He still is involved in flying airplanes, but he has also dabbled in radio control airplanes. He has many stories about his flying exploits, most beginning with "There I was 2000 feet in the air, lost..."


Paulisms

#1 There are some things in life I could live without, but not my nose. Constantly I rub it, scratch it, blow it, wipe it, sniff it, and push my glasses up on it (even when I'm not wearing them). Besides, without my nose, what would I do with my hands?
#2 Life doesn't seem real to me unless I see it on TV. If I know something big is happening, I want to watch the news. I'll believe my team is in the playoffs - if I see them lose on TV. If the weather is bad, my first instinct is to turn on the TV and watch the Weather Channel, to see what it's like outside.
#3 Life passes me by, whether I'm paying attention or not.
#4 The secret to life lies in an aspirin bottle. Which is in my medicine cabinet. And it has a child proof cap. And I can't get it off.

On Prayer...from WebMom.
Years ago, we taught our children the simple prayer: For all we eat, for all we wear, for all we have, everywhere, we thank Thee, Father. Imagine my surprise when I received a TotallyPaul Email with a new prayer prefaced by: I think its forgo, forwent and forgot. Its from a quaint family prayer


Forwal we eat
Forwal we where
Forwal we had
It's here somewhere...
Then it did forgo
'Til it forwent
And now I forgot
Thank You, Lord
I'm still here
Amen

#5 Why is it, that when I used to think when I grew up I'd have it made, no one ever told me that when you're in charge, you can't do what you want then either?
#6 There is nothing romantic about the way couples kiss in the movies these days.
You would think they are counting each other's fillings with their tongues. A kiss should be tender and sweet not like an emergency life saving procedure.

#7 The trouble is, I just can't eat like I used to.

#8 Life is like a dog's tail. Its always moving but never getting anywhere.

#10 Each morning I get up, go to the mirror, look myself in the eye and say,
"You get better looking each day." It's scary how I can lie to myself like that.
