CURRENT MISSION

Well hell, traveling is the spice of my life. Looking to do lots and hoping to help and be helped by those of common sentiment.

ABOUT ME

Well I am sarcastic, most with those close to me, only on a minimal level with stangers. I am very active, rock climb, bicycle, run etc.

Love to have fun and throw convention out the window. I don't get along well with prejudice/racism/bigotry- enough said there.

I like to hang out have a beer pluck the guitar, go for a run, speak foreign languages, and cook good food.

PHILOSOPHY

First/foremost laugh, have fun, enjoy life.

First/foremost be nice to yourself and others.

First/foremost spend your time in ways that give you and others peace.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies, well I really like foreign movies. I like the classics, books that make me think. Hesse, Bach, Mill, More, Gould. Music- yes please! Jazz is the only genre that overall just hurts my ears...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best friends girlfriend lived in Canada- without his knowledge she and I arranged for her to 'show-up' at his doorstep unannounced. I have yet to see another moment filled with such joy and surprise. Definitely one of the most amazing things I have seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wow, lots of things I like to do- some I would consider skills I am competent enough to teach...

Outdoor activities- climbing, camping, fishing, hiking etc.
Sewing, actually I am pretty good at this, have made a kilt for myself and a jacket for the Love of my
life. :)
Construction/Repair/carpentry/mechanics.. it is the other part of my life- the part that financially supports the school thing.
Hmmm, more to come- certainly after a quarter of a century there are more than 3 areas of competency in my life?!?!
