CURRENT MISSION

To figure out what we're all doing with our lives.

ABOUT ME

I feed guinea pigs. I am a huge nerd about classical studies (especially Roman history). I am also a nerd about football, hockey, tennis and - to a lesser extent - baseball. And yet, I dislike basketball. Basically, I like to learn how people lived - with a 'D' on the end, not 'live' but liveD. I may or may not have an unhealthy obsession with the Pennsylvania State University.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to find what you like and remember that others are doing the same . . . unless you gotta beat them at tennis.
