About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Laissez les bons temps rouler‎ !

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back down to earth person who enjoys being active as well as doing nothing. Love visiting other cities in the US.

From my world travels I've learned, though we Americans are very proud of our economic system we fair very poorly at culture and quality of life.

PHILOSOPHY

CS'ing is a great way to accumulate Karhma.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking around Papua New Guinea on footpaths from settlement to settlement learning that many people still live in grass huts. Each day there was a scene from the National Geographic magazine.

Teach, Learn, Share

Am a wealth of useless trivia !

I do charity work around St Louis and think I am working with poor people. Then I do volunteer work in the the third world and experience true poverty. It's a dose of reality.

So I try to give people a hand up whenever and where ever I am.
