About Me

It's been awhile since I've updated my page or spoken with most of you so let me give you the rundown.Let's see, I bought a vintage motorcyle in June, in early August I coached my sister having a baby girl (I cut the chord) before going on a month long work assignment to Afghanistan, travelling to Kabul and poppie-producing-Taliban-central Lashkar Gah in the Helmand Province. On my return trip in September I went skiing in Dubai (which just happened to be my 31st bday), and since being back I've been off to Ocean City for Bike Week, a long weekend in San Diego and Orange County with Patricia (renting a convertable), and have been looking into buying a house...though apparently I still have that pesky credit card debt to pay off first so it appears I'll be sticking around my current place where I've been kickin it in for the past 4 years. Anyway, looking forward to ski season and whatever other adventures that are just around the corner...who knows perhaps with you...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who make the best of things, have fun anywhere, challenge themselves, have interesting qualities/quirks, who can hold a conversation and can make fun of themselves.

My Blog

45 more things to do, minus one

Something that most of you don't know about me is that I'm the absolute Lord of List Making.  I have managed to make art (both the noun and the verb) out of listmaking and life tracking.  I ...
