CURRENT MISSION

To lay on the ground in as many different places as possible and make great friends along the way.

ABOUT ME

If you wish to know "All About Me", this website pretty much encompasses my true spirit. I am a tremendous fan of life, and humans in particular, and I try to see as many different places and meet as many people as I possibly can.

PHILOSOPHY

Any time I make a decision, I call upon all that I have learned in my studies of religions and philosophies, all that I have learned from experiences, and finally what my heart tells me. It affords me peace of mind, which to me is the key to happiness. If my choice turns out to be wrong, at least I know I did what I thought was best at the time and will learn from it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love historical fiction, if it's done well. I usually have a couple of books going at a time. Movies? - Harold & Maude, Barfly, Gladiator, Unbearable Lightness of Being, Lord of the Rings, Sexy Beast - really too many to name...same with Music - I'm all over the place, and I'm always looking for something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow..I'm so easily amazed and amused that I'd hate to diminish my other experiences by picking just one. This past weekend, I was sitting under a tree and felt something on my shoulder. I brushed off a medium-sized green spider that still was attached to a strand of it's web, and it was dangling about 8 inches from my face. In a split second, a large orange and green dragonfly snatched it right in front of my nose and took off. It was so close that it made me cross-eyed...amazing
