Hmm, Ive had a passion for literature since childhood, and for art, and creativity, and traveling, and...I guess I just have a passion for life. I spent several years traveling in Spain and France with my little brother in my twenties and have many, many stories. I was married for fourteen years to my wife Lyndsay but she passed suddenly in 2020 so now I'm alone. The first two years after I lost her I was crushed but I am better now and recently determined to make a pilgrimage to mend my relationship with my father. I have no time frame no route and no real plan other than to eventually end up back home in San Antonio and surprise him with a knock on his door, but this is only the end goal, in the interim I would like to meet as many people as possible and hopefully fall back into step with life again. I'm a cool guy, not a weirdo, and very very interesting, cultured well-rounded good cook love wine, and I'm also a great listener and have developed a relationship with grief that I hope might help somebody else someday in their own healing.
