ABOUT ME

I've lived a lot of places, and I have the growing awareness that I love where I am. Life's going well at the moment, and I've lucked into care-taking a lovely house on a beautiful quiet beaver pond in rural Western Mass. It's a little isolated, but I spend a lot of time with my 3-year old son here, and beyond that, my work keeps me very busy. Of course, it's the usual odd story of loves, labors and losses that ended me up here...which I can spew out if anyone's interested. Personally, I get a little tired of my own story. Anyhow, since I, at the moment, am somewhat tied to this place, I figure perhaps the world can come to me. This is a beautiful spot, and a haven for anyone looking for a respite from the urban world.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people fairly. Be accountable.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I'm totally into the Sopranos right now. I don't have a TV hook-up, but the folks who own this house have all the seasons on video. My son and I watch Shrek together...I really like it. Books...I last sread "The Weather Makers." I wish I read more.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

OK, so I spend my work life as a general contractor/builder. I can certainly share my skills and knowledge of the building trade, especially carpentry...and might even be able to provide a few days of paid work to a willing surfer.
One of the things I'd like to learn/share thoughts on...landscape photography.
