CURRENT MISSION Seek new goals in life! ABOUT ME About me...well....I need to expand this in the future. I am very passionate about whatever I do. I love nature, sailing, cycling and anything that is an intellectual challenge! Important things beyond that are music ( mainly listening, but I do play the flute (traverse), albeit at an dilettante level. I love to meet new people and to learn about them and their life. And I'm a romantic at heart....believing in the good in people, even if that has cost me a dime (and a fortune) in the past... PHILOSOPHY Be here now.
