About Me

I'm an old soul at the mercy of my curiosity. I work, study, and play... I've made margarine tubs and windows in British factories, taught in Korean public schools and Canadian universities, and edited magazines and important-sounding fluff for high-profile public figures. I have collected a few degrees in a bunch of subjects, too. Life is too important to be taken seriously.
