CURRENT MISSION

To someday offer singing lessons to the voices in my head

ABOUT ME

I call myself a writer, though I have not yet been significantly published; so, come to think of it, I call myself an astronaut, too. I am a happy vagabond. I used to be able to fit everything I own in my car, but then I got rid of my car, so now it has to fit in a suitcase. My attitude and vocation are not terribly attractive to women or parents, but the less I have, the happier I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy.
