CURRENT MISSION

Inhale life in as many places as I can get to. Be more musical. Make more friends. Find the best pomegranate salad in the world.

ABOUT ME

Fascinated by people, intrigued by art and music though I'm not an artist. Wish I hiked more. Love to write. I think plants are AMAZING.

PHILOSOPHY

Do no harm. Love my neighbor. Hug a friend every day. Sing when I can. Watch out for the little ones. Make every day count. Wrestle for beer whenever possible.
