ABOUT ME

Umm, I lived in a small city in called Thunder Bay in Northern Ontario in Canada. It is a place surrounded by nature and rests on Lake Superior. I still haven't fully realized what fundamental influence or impact growing up in such a place has had on me, but I'm sure it is an important part of who I am. I love cycling, I feel that the world looks different and time passes at different rate when on the seat of a bike. I'm pretty laid back, but I don't like sitting around... it makes me anxious. I love meeting people from all walks of life, it is my belief that we all have something to offer each other. Ummm, I like cats! I find people who insist on using cellphones in restaurants are quite obnoxious. I can be shy at times, but love to be around people!

PHILOSOPHY

We all have something to offer each other, a smile, a laugh, a thought, a song, a recipe, a poem, a note, a chat, a couch!
