About Me

CURRENT MISSION

on a pilgrimage for tradition, wisdom, and cheese.

ABOUT ME

If I wasn't baking bread or making cheese on the farm, I would be in the city, drinking a cappuccino and eating a croissant while watching the city folks pass by with their shiny clothes and pretty smells. I would later look for a sunny spot in the grass and play some music until the wind blew me forwards to drink something strong with friends. I'd go into the night until the sun rose once again, calling me to come back home, to the country, and bake some more bread.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life to the fullest while your prostate is small.
