About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live short term....for the bigger picture

ABOUT ME

I'm tall, lanky, and my right ear is slightly smaller than my left.
I love to jog, play cribbage, and a good floss after a medium rare steak. You betcha.

Hate it when people eat the ENTIRE apple. Weird.

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? - Douglas Adams

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and remember names, everything else just falls into place.
