CURRENT MISSION

To paint all the rooms in my house a different color than what they were when I moved in.

ABOUT ME

I just moved back to the States after five years in New Zealand. I'm trying to make friends and write. I will be in Michigan for the next year, and I'd like to fill my time in interesting ways.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm having a pretty good time. I think that means I'm winning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sat on top of a mountain, just any old mountain in New Zealand, and ate peanut butter sandwiches while listening to Bob Dylan. I hadn't seen any people in days, and I hadn't eaten anything but peanut butter sandwiches in a week, but I could see most of the Pacific coast of the South Island, and I couldn't tell where the sea met the sky. It was a wonderful lunch.
