About Me

Offbeat, independent, active pursuer of all things obsessed. Slightly bipolar with cranky tendencies. I spend my summers racing motorcycles, and my winters being utterly depressed. I've travelled to 10 foreign countries and about 42 US states. My life is constantly changing, and having new challenges keeps me happiest. Often found in the basement surrounded by greasy metal parts and tools. Generator of dynamic expletives. Sometimes a control freak, and often facetious. Usually far too busy for my own good. Lover of British humor and very easily amused. Go to the Fat Baby web site for racing adventure!
