CURRENT MISSION Get back involved with CS following a hiatus. ABOUT ME Living in New York, looking forward to figuring out my next trip. PHILOSOPHY See as much as you can. Learn as much as you can. Or a favorite cycling quote: "When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man ... Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle."

My Interests
I'm a fan of anything outdoors, especially running & cycling. Also enjoy are hiking and sailing, but I don't get to do either as much as I'd like. As for indoor activities, I'm interested in politics, history, and literature. I think reading history & literature of an area is a great glimpse of the culture and allows a little more understanding.
