Thanks for dropping in. You’ve found me on the deck of my home in Sonora, California where most of Doc and the Judge was perfected.  Parts of the book were written in Nimbim, Byron Bay, Adelaide, Melbourne and Launceston Tasmania all during our trip to Australia. I sought out spots I knew the Judge’s soul would seek out.  His spirit kept pace by my side throughout as you’ll discover in detail in the book.

The photo to the left is a breathtaking yet typical view of sunset from my deck. I found this place in 2001 while on a tour of America to promote breast cancer awareness for young women with my wife Mari who’d been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer at age 29. She died here shortly thereafter.  Sonora is my refuge from a maddening world, a haven for retrospection, introspection and a place that is as close to God and purity as I’ve ever experienced.

I hope you enjoy the book but as importantly I hope a bond between us takes hold and grows. I’m interested in your life’s experiences. How did you live the 70’s and 80’s?  Where are you in your life today? What does tomorrow hold? What legacy do you leave your children, grandchildren? What issues do you still grapple with, if any?

I invite you back to this site often and this page particularly where you’ll find I’ve collected universal experiences and put them into my own words to share with you.  I caution the book is written in the frank and unbridled style Doc and the Judge lived. You’ll also see thoughtful words and phrases that you will feel deeply as coming from a person who has come full circle in life…then again, which evolving heart hasn’t?

Enjoy! And please share your thoughts with me.

Best wishes,
Gary (Doc) Granger
