Hi.

About Me

I enjoy doing plenty of things, but being outside is the best. My bike either loves me or hates me, but I haven't asked it yet. Oddly enough, I had never gone camping until this summer when my brother and I climbed Mount Washington in New Hampshire.

I also enjoy reading, writing, and just doing creative things in general. Music and movies are also a big interest of mine, and if you aren't careful I'll break out my harmonica and make you sing some impromptu Blues about how your day is going...if it's going well you can sing...umm....Greens?

My Interests

Dinosaurs, History, Nature, Politics, Art, Cooking, Computers, Biking, Hiking, Music, Film and film history, Making things, Archeology, Canoeing, Reading, Writing, Museums, Cartoons, Making crappy home movies, etc.

Television:

I own a television, but I don't have cable and haven't tried receiving any local stations. If I do watch television elsewhere, it would probably end up being cartoons or things like nature shows, cooking shows, or history shows. I really liked the Adventures of Pete and Pete. I like catching the Daily Show and the Colbert Report when I'm able. Just because it's on TV, doesn't mean it's true!

Books:

Raymond Chandler, Kin Platt, Jack Prelutsky, Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Brian Froud, Shel Silverstein, Dave Barry, Dr. Seuss. Reading is cool.
