About Me



Me...
It's my story and I'm NOT sticking to it.

You...
People who inspire me and/or make me laugh.
Unique strengths and weaknesses.
Fear of failure or defeat is of no concern.
Judgment is neither necessary nor desirable.
Allow others the freedom to live life as they choose.

"Happiness?
A good cigar,
a good meal,
a good cigar,
and a good woman
- or a bad woman.
It depends on
how much happiness
you can handle."
-George Burns
