I am an advocate for reading and travel because each broadens our horizon of the possible.

Interests

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime" (Mark Twain).

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" (Marcel Proust).

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face" (Mike Tyson).
