ABOUT ME

I want to learn fifteen languages and read every book I see in a bookstore & travel everywhere, preferably in a tramp steamer, and then build a cherry veneered hardwood table before breakfast, and grow lemon & blood orange trees in my backyard so that I can make sorbet, and bake my own bread, and record a symphony using trash cans, a children´s choir, and a broken piano filled with nails, and write a letter to every single one of my friends every day.

I have not done any of these things yet.
