CURRENT MISSION

So many cups of wine will I consume,
Its bouquet shall exhale from out my tomb,
And every one that passes by shall halt,
And reel and stagger with that mighty fume.

ABOUT ME

Teaching Elementary school. Lying to little kids is quickly becoming my favorite past time.

Lived and worked in Egypt and Chile and starting to get the traveling itch again.

PHILOSOPHY

Omar Khayyam says it better than I ever could...

Sobriety doth dry up all delight,
And drunkenness doth drown my sense outright;
There is a middle state, it is my life,
Not altogether drunk, nor sober quite.
