Worked years as a geologist: environmental, groundwater, that sort of thing. Lots of energy and interests...I write, run, bike, and exercise for fun. Coffee's my drink of choice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who are different than me. I'm doing research for a novel...I don't have a lot of time in RI and I think the way to make the most of it is to stay with a local who knows the place, at least better than I do. Heck, I'd be happy just to run into someone who can clue me in about the area, so to tip the scales in that direction here I am.

Interests

Fiddle Music
Radio...ham, commercial, radio intelligence
History...any history (I'm looking at some cool history regarding RI for my novel). Writing fiction...
Construction
World events (check out BBC World Service...best radio ever)
Imagery analysis
Photography
On, and on and on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing is a pretty tall word...how about pretty cool:

I rode my bicycle to Florida from Pittsburgh before it was cool to do so...back in the pre-Spandex, pre-helmet days! Thirteen days, camping all the way but only twice in camp grounds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation...kindness, and I can help with anything.

I can fix just about anything in the house...I've fixed four of my own houses from gutting to walls to electrical to whatever... Also, 'cat box consultation'...I'm real good at this...you should see my cats' bathroom (seriously), check out my video below (maybe it should be my 'amazing' thing):
