About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just Being

ABOUT ME

I'm a really easy-going guy and I've been told I am easy to be around. I love to travel. It's an addiction. I have just moved to Berkeley and am getting settled there, just moving along in life.

PHILOSOPHY

LIFE SHOULD NOT BE A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN AN ATTRACTIVE AND WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, CHOCOLATE IN ONE HAND, MARTINI IN THE OTHER, BODY THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT AND SCREAMING "WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!"
