CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know myself, by getting to know people while seeing the world.

ABOUT ME

A middle aged balding guy with a youthful mind. currently residing in the "city of eternal youth" in a medium sized apartement. I have a lot of books, a lot of records, and a fair amount of friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I quote the Danish matematician, philosopher, and designer Piet Hein:

Do remember - to forget
anger, worry and regret
Love while you've got love to give
Live while you've got life to live.

The road to wisdom? - Well, it's plain
and simple to express:
Err, and err, and err again
- but less and less and less.
