About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It's never too early to start working on the bucket list.

ABOUT ME

I've been compared to Lardee of My Milk Toof. Quit smoking cold turkey two Halloweens ago, and only had one slip that Thanksgiving.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything, and keep a bottle of scotch handy.

Bucket list items: hang-gliding, marathon, scuba diving, skydiving, spelunking.
