CURRENT MISSION

To make the little piece of the world I interact with a better place.

ABOUT ME

Whew - ALL about me? I don't think I fit in this box.

It is maybe fair to say that I am a study in contradictions. I am both liberal and conservative, depending on the issue at hand. I read and think and debate, but I look like a thug.

I enjoy talking to new people a great deal. Everyone has a story, and I LOVE stories. I even have one or two of my very own.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know that I have one.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:Any and all, depending on my mood and the cast.

Books: I'll read a week old paper that's been used to wrap a fish, if nothing else is avaliable. I even read a historical romance once just to say I had.
