About the Guest
Don Feeney is "a retired
United States Diplomat and United States Air Force officer. He has a Masters of
Science degree in Management Information Systems from the University of Southern
California, and teaches graduate school part-time. Don lives with his wife
Andi, and their cat, Kismet, in Indian Harbor Beach, Fla." Don Feeney is that author of Gathering No
Moss: Memoir of a Reluctant World Traveler.
According to the book description
of Gathering No Moss: Memoir of a Reluctant World Traveler, "Don Feeney
has seen it all. As a diplomat working for the United States, he served in
embassies and consulates around the world. As an air force officer, he had some
daring exploits of varying levels of sanity and sophistication. He's lived,
worked, and played in more than fifty countries on five continents. In his
memoir Gathering No Moss, Feeney recalls his three-decade trip down the wild,
weird, and surprising journeys of his life. A somewhat reluctant traveler, he
conveys the heavy burden of loneliness on the road while driven by the search
for meaning, spirituality, and love. His life has been one of thought-provoking
questions, highly charged emotional situations, and brushes with both greatness
and tragedy. He's been an airman, an officer, an instructor, a commander, an
administrator, a trainer, a consular officer, a manager, and a diplomat. He's
sold paintings on a street corner, washed dishes, worked in a paper mill,
flipped hamburgers, painted houses, and tended bar. He smoked pot, drank too
much, and fell in (and out) of love (including four marriages). He went AWOL,
was shot at three times, survived a brain aneurysm, and beat colon cancer. His
mantra- "The more you know, the more you don't know sh*t" or
TMYKTMYDKS-reminds us all that the human mind will never let you understand the
human mind."
