About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a sponge

PHILOSOPHY

One idea that resonates with me is nicely summed up by Robert Heinlein in _Time Enough for Love_:

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wannabe host if I ever have a couch available (I have lived with people who unfortunately are not as open to the idea of Couchsurfing as I am) and occasional information source and drinking buddy for CS visitors. =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I live in a small town and have not yet had the opportunity to host, but I have been able to meet up with Couchsurfers visiting the area and had a great time!

Interests

The city, the country, the mountains, the plains, the desert, the jungle, the ocean, the sky, and the stars.

  • design
  • cooking
  • beer
  • cocktails
  • music
  • mountains
  • food

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy art in all its forms. Why limit it to movies, music, and books?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Milky Way from the bottom of the Grand Canyon is a breathtaking sight.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have something that's broken there's a very good chance I can help you fix it!
