One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

have not bought any Apple products, ever, except that one Ipod.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook, not just cheese burgers.
and can talk a lot about English literature.
and learned how to make Whiskey this year.
and used to have a noble profession.
and can teach you how to sail, if you have the boat, but then you'd probably already know.
