About Me

Hi. I used to fish a lot when I was kid.

I like comfortable shoes.
I love words. I get word-of-the-day emails from both Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English Dictionary. It's my one geek quality.
I like this quote from Vincent Van Gogh: "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."


And, this one from Eugene Delacroix: "The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing."
Reminds me that much of the beauty in art (or even life itself) is in its imperfections.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Stephen Hawking and Ravi Zacharias and whomever can supply me with winning Lotto numbers.

The Moustache Diaries: Day 1

In researching this latest blog adventure, I came across a quote from Lee Tergesen: "Eddie Drake is sort of this loose cannon, funny, edgy guy, who has this really foolish, foolish mustache." Honestly...

The Painter, Part I

The man awoke before the sun rolled over the mountain.  Still tired and sore from the previous day's work, he chased a handful of Advil with a swig of blueberry smoothie.  Never could take p...

Rollerkids, Ghostships, and 50ish Butter-faces

First off, I'll admit: maybe I'm a teeny bit jealous that they didn't have them when I was a kid.  I wasn't able to streak through the mall at Mach 5 with my pants on fire.  I had to walk li...
