Algo increíble que he hecho

I visited Castle Doune, in Scotland, which was used heavily by Monty Python in their Holy Grail movie. It was a pretty great experience, regardless of its movie-trivia status.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can tell you more about music than you probably want to know. I think a lot, and feel that my philosophical side is at a damn even keel. I've been developing specific skills as a fermenter of things, and I'm a piano tuner/technician.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can cook up a storm, in virtually any conditions/dietary restrictions. If you own a piano, I might be able to tune it for you if I've got a few tools with me, or make a repair. I tell a good joke. I can tell a bad joke too, if you want.
