CURRENT MISSION

'You Texans are all alike. You steal our German women and drink our Tassie beer.'

ABOUT ME

I am branching out into more travel after several years of working too much. I have worked at numerous high school and college sports events. Fan of trains, but really like watching freighters. I am a transportation engineer and will analyze your broken traffic signal for a floor and a pillow.

PHILOSOPHY

"Relationships are like fishes. [sic] You feed them too much, they die, you flush them down the toilet."

"Genius is knowing to stay silent as others demonstrate their ignorance."

Music, Movies, and Books

Old movies, non-fiction books (though I've been reading the alternate history books of Harry Turtledove), Aussie and Canadian music. Lately i've been listening to CBC Radio 3, fbi 94.5, npr's world cafe. Now I'm a classical music season subscriber.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking trip through Aus and NZ. A six week trip traveling by train and bus. Melbourn was amazing; seeing local bands, the Quen Vic Market, the Rainbow Hotel, Dame Edna Laneway. In Taupo, NZ I chated with a guy from the UK for hours on a saturday night. The next morning I walked to Huka Falls and bathed in a natural hot spring.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots of inane trivia; much of it would not be useful anywhere. I'd love to learn more about art history.
