CURRENT MISSION

To spread the good word. Love.

ABOUT ME

Ben and I are peaceful souls who love the simple things in life, good food, living creatures, music, laughter, and sunsets. I work in a restaurant/bar and am a dedicated listener of Ben's music. He plays bass for a wonderful band that is sure to shake many hips one day soon. We love to experience new things and places with beautiful people. We enjoy the outdoors, museums, bars with live music, beer in those bars, great conversation, gardening, herbs, and making things. We are quiet and considerate and smell quite nice.

PHILOSOPHY

It comes down to love. Treat everyone and everything with respect and care and this world will be alright.
