CURRENT MISSION keep it interesting - trying not to make it more complicated ABOUT ME initially reserved, usually practical, active, (though given to bouts of laziness)I'm pretty open minded and interested in a wide range of topics, places and people and usually enjoy discussing controversial topics. Favorite places deserts in winter, mountains in summer, redwood forests, the carretera Austral,and northern California coast. PHILOSOPHY treat others as you would like them to treat you. I like the saying that one should dance like no one's watching, love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on earth
