CURRENT MISSION

To leave the world better than I found it. To remember to still laugh while doing so!

ABOUT ME

I love my family, my friends, my dog named Ernie, and my city of St. Louis. My politics keep leaning further and further to the left, but I like think my sense of humor is keeping up...

PHILOSOPHY

I love words and literature and probably rely on them too much. I often learn the most about myself in places where I don't know the language because it's so humbling. I'd like to be in those situations more often.
