ABOUT ME

My full name is Simone, but my friends call me Simo (like Nemo with an S). I’m an Italian-Jew (a pizzabagel if you will...), and I live about 10 blocks away from where I was born in San Francisco. Besides my uncanny ability to guess the time without looking at a clock and my deadly accuracy hurling ping-pong paddles at small moving objects, writing is my favorite thing to do.

PHILOSOPHY

Never fail to overestimate the unimportance of practically everything and you'll go through life with a smile
