About Me

That which does not kill me. I was never more in earnest. Come of it what will. I like to quote movies/books/whatever for no reason other than to reference art that we have a shared experience with so that we might communicate on a deeper level than that which language has hitherto placed us. I climbed an extremely high tree once, it was seriously tall, and my ankle was badly sprained but I found 3 working limbs more than sufficient. It's almost like my ancestors evolved in trees or something.

My Interests

Dogs, sparring, hiking Scotland (again), good whiskey, cheap beer, air conditioning, trying to read more, history, cooking, astrophysical phenomena, and learning about pretty much anything.
