Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a year of hitch - hiking and riding fright trains around the US . have not recovered after 30 years. i suppose living in Kenya and seeing that water is some thing that we in the west really don't have any idea what the rest of the world has to deal with.... have not owned a car since my return... beaten unconcious the streets of Nairobi , and not only survived but have come to see it as one of the many blessings in my life.
