Overview
About Me
I judge a city by its libraries, its museums, its food, and its churches. And I don't say this to be boastful it's just another way of saying, I love my books, culture, my grub and my God. I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed as well as examined because as Socrates famous quote goes, the unexamined life is not worth living. So it doesn't come as a surprise that I enjoy deep conversations on philosophical theories (preferably ones of Jacque Maritain and Friedrich von Hayek) over a bottle of Italian or French red wine or my occasional weakness for la Coca-Cola. Other said weaknesses? A great yoga class, salsa and swing dancing
