2002

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

1940 — Harv’s I-SELF story starts here ======== Junior, as shown in pic, he is already an in-mind FOCUSED OBSERVER thanks to being ‘alone’ in the big-city growth POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE named “sewer socialism” (circa 1850-1950 Milwaukee WI). The pic portrays central Wisconsin ‘vacation’ for Senior (he NEVER went back to farm nor marriage) — mother Connie is shown 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” not politically active] lived into her 102nd year at her Milwaukee retirement home — the ‘not-good-enough’ son driving cross country to visit at least yearly, staying in a home guest room taking meals with the residents (Connie did not socialize with her fellow residents ☹️) — until maybe 2005 when he was departing in the retirement home 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. We three were the culmination of generations of what Harv labels as NO-TALK❗️Grand daughter Susan was afforded some Connie TALK and memorabilia before Connie’s death. The years tumbled on, with Harv’s I-SELF subconsciously still driven by his parochial education and his sewer-socialist tradition. He was a latch key kid — the best mother Connie could do in her life-circumstance — as an elementary student he traveled alone to spend summers spread among the mid WI relatives — the last year spent doing substantial 50-head farming work for one aunt/uncle who also owned a ‘hot’ dance hall — Harv worked both. Harv was left to his own devices in getting on in his ME-SELF life, yet he/Connie could be loosely described as a family of two. In 1961 Harv splintered off into marriage with Elaine. Connie alone then coped with her retirement with some Harv assist, focusing in on a life-end retirement home. Harv looked to his future as a SEWER SOCIALIST child — but did not know it then ❗️ That historical awareness came via life-long retro study in October 2025. Continued study aims at making the ‘correct’ choices for Harv’s Real Retirement 2025 status growth. ♠️ P.S. he retired from Bridge play with a one-quarter Masters‘ point.

life 2026

2026 lifetime view of Harv — YEAR 88 still a YOUTHFUL SPIRIT 😏 1960-1997 chased life partner ideation 💒 1986-1991 college educator 🏫 year 52 retired but didn’t know it 🧐 1999-2018 chased family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 year 86 2024-2025 SELF expression and publish 🤪 year 87 2025 began RETIREMENT Tx 😉 year 88 📖 🚆🧑‍🦼‍➡️🚶 (26oct2025) 💡 — he sees himself [at the nano-blog level (NB)] an ELDER CONSULTANT (EC) with one student, ie, himself … … … He is a philosopher of individual lives — his own equal in quality to all functional others — his challenge is to express that ideation (via a sliver of a ‘we’whole-hour) to anybody interested [currently counted with just the index finger and by too many with just the ring finger] — He is ‘EC’ only AS HE HAS ANY FUNCTIONAL LIFETIME REMAINING — he works at maximizing his longevity via cooperation with health-care-industry and minimizing other distractions, inclusive of car-living — he is reclusive as a STUDENT-IN-STUDY but not a recluse.

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 in 2025. Harv had his “chasing-family’ lifetime-phase 1999-2018 — 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 comfortable book title has snuck out — NOT to be available soon in book stores near you.

THEORY W why a QoL, who, when, what, the will, the way, where, with, the week …


Many W words incise Harv’s life -- the W words are gimmicks for thought exploration to attend 
comprehension of his QoL as an organization. For blog comprehension he chooses the convenience 
of the week as the conglomerate QoL whole of 168 wholly hours of each week. For those so inclined, 
the week end ‘rest’ has cultural tradition and it certainly fits conveniently with a 40 hour week job.
The why-question is a universal thought provoker, even with children -- they think it, and frequently 
voice it as they learn-to-learn. The why-question is even a powerful adult question, and repeatedly 
answered, leads a person-as-an-organization to their vision/strategy/mission QoL. Reversed -- the way
-question leads their organization to actualize its mission. So, what is the why of Harv’s vision/mission? 
Or, what are the way steps whereby he actualizes his life’s QoL mission. The steps can be diagramed
and maintained in a precedence network database.
WellCare of Florida Medicare Advantage together with Community Health Centers of Florida are 
the leader integrals to Harv’s QoL.
