CURRENT MISSION

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.

ABOUT ME

"Be as I am – reluctant enthusiast . . . a part time crusader, a halfhearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmed attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies . . . You will outlive those bastards.”

PHILOSOPHY

You can't always get what you want.
But you get what you need.
And you always have more than you could want.
The wanting just gets in the way of enjoying what you have.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I went hang gliding over the Swiss Alps. I was in the middle of a metro-riot in Mexico City. I saw Phish at Red Rocks. I was robbed and abandoned in the Amazon - and enjoyed it!
