About Me

CURRENT MISSION

No regrets...that's my motto...that and everybody wang chung tonight.

ABOUT ME

I am self proclaimed procrastinator. Shame on me that it has taken this long to travel to an unknown land...I am a life-long learner in search of utopia...if not located I will settle for the nearest coffee shop/book store.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines... Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain....

Oh and as Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett once sang "...it's 5 o'clock somewhere." So every hour is my happy hour.
