About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To bring some warm down east maritime love to the sore blistered feet of a weary circumnavigator.
ABOUT ME
I am 50 pounds heavier than I was when I got married (Sad Fact). At 16 I let my best friend tattoo me (Bad Idea). At times I have eaten the clumpy brown sugar like candy when I was left alone for long periods of time as a child (Full of shame). I have had many piercings. Now I have many holes and scars in the corresponding locations. I really enjoy WINE and… food. I hate the tourism industry (Everywhere). I really enjoy anything that involves me and water… and fish can come along too (if they want to..I’m not going to force them). I am married to my wife. We are the best team ever. If I was going to let us say “rob a bank” or something, I would for sure be her wheel man or …whatever she needed me to be… then… at that time…in which she was doing something… yup. In all honesty Christina is the greatest. I have a very hairy child named Rosie. She is part dog and part mental health patient. She has a really good side and a very very small very very bad side ( I think the “very”s cancel each other out). I am a Linux man. I am but a shadow of the outdoor enthusiast I once was. I have watched every video that has ever been uploaded to You Tube. I mean every freaking last one. I play hand drums (bodhran, cajon, congas) digeridoo and guitar. I love tattoos although I can’t afford them. I sketch and love to rip up and crumple paper ( the two go hand in hand). I love to drive ( Das Auto).
