One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once in a van coming down the side of a mountain on Naxos, Greece at dusk. The sun was hitting the sea at such an angle that the sea turned white; it was impossible to tell if you were looking at an island coming out of the sea or if you were looking at mountain tops popping out of the tops of clouds

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: The perfect grilled cheese, good vegan brownies, the difference between lager and ale, basic bike maintenance, how to stay warm when you're skinny and don't have the proper clothes, why art is important, how to say please & thank you in various languages

Learn: New beers, secret places, how to cook somewhat complex dishes, how to say please and thanks in more languages, how to have more fun

Share: Stories, fears, a healthy appreciation for art. music and traveling, a healthy appreciation for almost anything. hope, the truth about almost anything
