CURRENT MISSION

To search out and destroy drudgery.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Southwest Michigan, lived in and fell in love with Boston for four years, and decided to hang it all and move to Alaska.

PHILOSOPHY

Always strive to learn more and never content yourself with lazy thought. Also, practice the virtue of cheerfulness, which is the better part of loving one's neighbor.
