Who are you, again?

About Me

I love to travel. Whether it's driving into the next state in search of a random, latent town or hopping on a transcontinental flight. Love walking no where, with no purpose, and when I've absolutely no destination in mind. Enjoy trailing the wind and getting lost in the woods. Love making spur-of-the-moment decisions and sticking to them. Change. Really enjoy ubiquitous change. Love people who make me think. Anyone with an ounce of creative juice that can be squeegied for a few minutes conversation with me. Love chat chitting with cabbies. Dark bars, dive bars, and any place with an abundance of character. Books. Especially the smell and feel of old pages. Love beautiful, thoughtful prose. Morning coffee while sitting outside. Tea. Food -- all sorts, especially sushi! The Sun. The Rain. My iPod (can't live without me music!). My laptop. Questions. I've always got them. Lots o' dem. Wit. Sarcasm. Originality on every level. CIA, investigative work. Private eye work, secret wish is to be an old-school hardboiled dick working in LA.
