CURRENT MISSION

Life: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Frank's Life. Its multi-decade mission: to explore strange new places, to seek out new interesting life forms and interesting civilizations, to boldly go where no Frank has gone before.

ABOUT ME

I'm a native New Yorker. I've been living in Mexico since I returned from Afghanistan and Kuwait in the summer of 2015 :)

Spartan, easy going

PHILOSOPHY

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."

~ Helen Keller, The Open Door (1927)
