One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen 35 out of the 37 known and disputed Johannes Vermeer paintings. It would be more amazing to say I've seen them all. Hopefully someday I can, though one of the paintings I have yet to see has been stolen.

I'll have to answer this question properly later...

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone just wants to be told a story. I'm better at listening, but I'm working on both.

It's also pretty easy to live a life that has a low impact on the environment. Simple small things are the way to start.
