CURRENT MISSION

To do interesting things and meet interesting people!

ABOUT ME

I like to read and write. I like to bike. I enjoy eating good food and drinking nice things! Love to swim. Being with people--that is a good thing.

PHILOSOPHY

"The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair." --Walker Percy
