I am here for Friends

About Me

I like plants and animals more than (most) people (you might as well know that going in). By profession and disposition, I hold myself and others accountable for our choices. I’m not shy, but I have no need to fill every silence. I see the Big Picture as well as shades of gray. Probably I’m too direct. Possibly I think too much.
I like it when active brains come with generous hearts. I celebrate when curious minds and exceptional talents cross paths and spark magic. The older I get the more’s the proof that the pleasure and business of life unfold in a subjective place where not everyone navigates by the same compass or sees things the same way. Often that’s not a bad thing, but sometimes it is.
So what an abiding joy if, despite the challenges, we manage to kindle a kind of simple, honest, and genuine affection in such a complicated world.

A Tall Short Story

Its that time of the year again, when the bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and slack-jawed hopefuls (and delusionals) land on my work-a-day doorstep with their figurative hats in their hands.  There were m...
