CURRENT MISSION

Begin the day with brilliance, and end it with delight.

ABOUT ME

I write without excuses or misgivings. That's my biggest deal. Otherwise, I search small streams for wild trout with my fly rod; try through eager amatuerism to climb various rock faces; want to build a fixed gear bicycle; enjoy knocking people off their bikes on the bike polo court; and late nights in underground bars where the music is interesting and the beer decent and cheap.

PHILOSOPHY

No thank you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Find new roofs to sit on; save homeless cats; introduce those deemed worthy to Batman.

Interests

Fly-fishing, climbing, good books (I mean it, I'm very serious about this, don't give me any crap!), bike polo, interesting ways of drinking vodka, falafel, wild trout, fly tying, sleeping on a hammock in the middle of the forest and living cheap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiked from Texas to Colorado in a day. With 5 different people. Including some drunk New Mexicans and kind Canadians. Oh yeah!
Slept by a river in Romania and listened, wide-eyed and scared silly, as a pack of wild dogs fought with some animal (perhaps a bear?) all night long. Very terrifying--but of course funny now.
