1940 — my I-self story starts here ======== 1940 — Junior, is already an in-mind FOCUSED OBSERVER thanks to being ‘alone’ [in the growth POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE of “sewer socialist” ]. As shown in pic — mother Connie with or without sister Gloria who lived one day as a ‘blue baby’ — urbanite tavern-owner-son, Senior (Rh+), shown not yet into the full stupor as a functioning alcoholic (he lived to 78y through six dry-up cures until drink made him really sick due to an exhausted liver). Connie [the “sewer socialist”] lived into her 102nd year at her retirement home — the ‘not-good-enough’ son driving cross country to visit at least yearly — until maybe 2005 when he was departing in the hallway she announced, “Harvey, I don’t think we should see each other again.” Harv, without hesitation responded, “Ma, I agree,” walking off — we never spoke again, or corresponded. Harv was the shotgun pregnancy not aborted. Yet we were the culmination of generations of what Harv labels as NO-TALK❗️The years tumbled on and on with Harv’s i-SELF as hid subconscious driving force certainly NOT laced by his parochial education as a latch key kid. The best mother Connie could do in her circumstance. Harv was left tp his own devies in getting on in his life, yet they could be loosely described as a family of two. 1961 splintered off into marrtage with Elaine. Connie coping with retirement alone but focused on a retirement home for her future. Harv looks to his future as a SEWER SOCIALIST.

2002 — Mother Connie and son Harv danced their lives together under the auspices of life-long NO-TALK parochialism, to whom she relegated Junior’s education and a life style basis. NOTE WELL — NO MALES SURVIVE FOR THE OLD-AGE PARTYING❗️ From youth on Harv UNBELIEVED MANY TEACHINGS and TRADITIONS.

to Milwaukee

1937 ? — Connie bolted from Marshfield live-in domestic work (indentured since grade five), to Milwaukee to mother’s-side south-Milwaukee relatives and perhaps domestic work for an east-side Milwaukee dentist.

Armand

1937? 1938? 1939? 1940? — Armand Otto south-Milwaukee-tavern-owner hung himself (cancer?).

1941 - THIS KID, today, still works his lifetime as a JOB! “Huh ?“ 🙄 ? RETIRED ? Contrarily, HarvOtto.com exists as a work of SELF study evidential narration challenge. Likely, it is a psychiatric COMPLEXITY CHALLENGE to understand SELF (effectualness navigation required). SELF IDEATION begins in the brain, develops in mind, via tasks chosen by a faceted self, 😉 ie, I-self, Me-self, We-self. 🤪 BE HAPPY with your own brain-mind-self as a JOB-mess 🤪. (Background pic represents Harv’s inherent tradition of being-aside, ie, ALONE.) His SELF study began in the 1970s as THEORY W.

2025 — looking ‘into’ his ‘magic-window’ iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard connected to “in-car home” internet, Harv jokingly laughs, (when he can get his keys LIT all-the-time🤥) — Harv laughs at his EXTERIOR SELF while at his daily-picnic-in-the-county-park [he is now TRESPASSED there 😕] — HARV is forever curious of his INNER SELF related to world-wariness via his curated “FREE” CHOICES. Local-yokel modernity-reality — if Harv does not behave he takes responsibility for his own chosen life-way — continually adjusting as he has perceived being trespassed from many places by many individuals — Harv respects them all, although he moves on his life-time path-way.

self key words

Before Harv’s INNER SELF study seriously took over his whole-hour lifetime interest. Harv had his “chasing-family’ lifetime-phase — well worth the time spent, but that chase was not the crux for KNOWING HIS SELF (his two preliminary SELF-keyword's are ALONE and TWEAK — perhaps MINIMALISM is another). A fairly stable book title has snuck out — NOT to be available soon in book stores near you.
