About Me

I play trumpet and keyboards in a band called Strange . I have a job that i love... so it's really not work. I think about moving to DC but probably won't. My dream job right now would be working in a Smithsonian Museum..... Although.... i also dream about moving to Oriental, NC and buying a sailboat to sailaway on. (scratch that last sentance because we just bought the sailboat! ) I am over 30 so depending on who you ask you can or can't trust me. I think our current administration is the most crooked ever... which is probably the understatement of the century. Open your eyes and see the big picture. Speaking of pictures..... I love to take pictures but i'm no professional. Jack of all trades master of some. Pirate. Sailboat Owner. Animal Lover. Contemplative. Curious. Cautious. Quiet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ more interests: the technological revolution, sailing, vintage keyboards, recording bands, live music, anything outdoors, sailing (without lightning please), hiking, skiing, gardening, trees, sailing, going to places i've never been before... especially large cities, art, museums, historic sites, water, grilled atlantic tuna, good wine, good tequila, sushi, indian food, mexican food, sailing, this confounding thing called love, honesty, astrology, Hispanic culture...especially Dia de Los Muertos, intense weather, sailing, more weather, photography, pizza, patience, porch sitting, mix CD's, randomness... that'll do for now.... oh wait,... did i mention sailing?
