CURRENT MISSION To continue to improve my Spanish and to discover more corners of The Bay Area. ABOUT ME 25 years have left me a man desirous of moments of tranquility, elation, and contentedness, usually acheived in short glorious bursts. The avenues that lead to this temporary bliss are varied and grow as I collect different experiences. Some of the usual paths includeÑ hearing a song that speaks to the moment, reading a book that resonates with me. sipping a cup of strong Joe, partaking in a good conversation, spreading the gospel of Cactus, and viewing the majestic. I believe that few things are as freeing as showing up at a bus station with a thirst for adventure and no notion of a destination. PHILOSOPHY Keep on learning.
