CURRENT MISSION To take to the open road ABOUT ME I like cookies. Especially of the gluten-free variety. I think Alain de Botton is amazingly brilliant. I hike, run, walk, frisbee, read, cook, kiss, opine, strive, yoga, meditate, laugh. I do NOT wear high heels or makeup or designer clothes, gossip, eat meat, suffer fools, or tolerate stinky houseguests (take note of that one, guys). PHILOSOPHY Forgive me for quoting, but all I can say has already been said, and said better: "I was born lost and take no pleasure in being found." (John Steinbeck). And "Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after." (Thoreau)
