The Many Loves & Assorted Revulsions of Steve Severson aka NUTKIN

Steve was a fella who liked to let the world know exactly where he stood on things and issues… Sometimes to the detriment of social nicety, and to the utter horror of his Mother s .

What follows is a quick (I promise) look at the things Steve totally LOVED & ENJOYED*… and the items, entities & events that drove him foam-at-the-mouth NUTS. * Of Course … present company excepted. He loved us all fiercely .

WHAT STEVE LOVED: #1 “ Diane, a strange dream to report: I dreamt I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop. I awoke to realize I was aggressively munching on one of my Air-Pillow Silicone Ear Plugs. Hence the tastelessness. I suspect some unexpressed feeling of aggression is responsible.”

Regardless of the contempt & disdain he had for certain things, the truth is that Steve would go great lengths to make us all laugh, albeit sometimes uncomfortably. He liked neither the ordinary nor the outrageously cute. He reserved disdain for the greedy and for those who took advantage of their fellow man. He loved life, and I know he will love the next world he finds himself in. For us, however, his loss renders our world a less progressive & far less interesting place.
