Music, Movies, and Books

Earth, anything Rick Wakeman, King Crimson, Wes Montgomery, anything Moog, Rush. Always on the hunt for meditative/cosmic-drifting-in-a-snuggie/psych/prog/rock that takes a bit of heaviness off your shoulders and helps you breath deeply.

I really don't like Joe Walsh.

Unbearable Lightness of Being (Kundera), Invisible Cities (Calvino), Barnett's Manual DX (9th Edition) (Barnett),

Currently watching Star Trek: DS9

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a good time riding my bike around Europe for a few months. Meeting all the friendly folks that offered up their lawn, homes, or showers was quite humbling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help cook & clean. Teach bike maintenance. I'll pet your dog.

I could probably share my mom's Pretzel Jello Salad recipe.

I always appreciate a good story teller.
