ABOUT ME

Starry-eyed wanderer sounds pretty romantic, but vagrant bum is far closer to the mark. I bounce around, indulging my hobby of collecting stories. They pack pretty well, and you don't need to declare them to customs.

Everything else is probably derivative.

Interests

Music, carpentry, mechanics, Zen, bicycles, wandering, languages, writing, reading, building, chatting, frisbee, art, games, and Lava Monster. Really, any game on a playground. If there's a good jungle gym nearby, there will be tag.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most recent amazing thing was walking across five states, along county highways (and US 6), begging shelter and sometimes food from complete strangers.
The moral of the story is that people are nice and you can do anything.
I'll out-do this, though. And again, and again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Basic bicycle repair, a wee bit of electritian-ship, a smattering of woodworking, some parkour, fantastically decent writing, knowledge of the viola and guitar, and a mash of other odds and ends that serve me well from time to time.
