CURRENT MISSION Live it up because this ain't a rehearsal ABOUT ME Just living in the San Francisco area. Traveling bug hasn’t been eradicated quite yet. I enjoy hanging with friends, sports, games, podcasts, science, literature... I'm a strange blend of easy-going and judgmental; intellectual and silly; sensitive and politically incorrect. Traveling a good percentage of the globe, I've learned a lot about cultural idiosyncracies and general patterns of human behavior. Nature trips are always compelling, so my journeys to Eastern Africa, Southern Africa (camping safari), the Galapagos, and to the jungles of Thailand, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Belize and Peru have all been spectacular adventures. I've also enjoyed all of my summer canoe trips in the remote far northern reaches of Alaska and the Yukon.
