By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes

About Me

-I enjoy-The Euphoric Feelings of; Boating down the Thames, sitting in a Parisian sidewalk cafe, walking the cobblestoned streets of old Quebec, everything about New York City, British Pubs, an awe-inspiring work of art (painting, sculpture, architecture) completely overwhelming me, the agony/ecstasy of finishing a good book, conversing over a bottle of Port, continuing my education. Viewing the Sunsets; in St. Tropez, the Caribbean, both coasts of Florida, from atop the Notre Dame Cathedral over looking Paris, Flying/Riding; through clouds, over oceans, mountains, into New York City, Nice, San Francisco at night, on the seven mile bridge to Key West, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Pacific Coast Highway, the French Riviera, the Chunnel, the English and French countryside, the Everglades. Dreams; the (seemingly) crazy idea that governments should answer to the people-not the other way around, playing professional football (Soccer) in England, helping Sherlock Holmes solve a puzzling case, walking the streets of 15th-19th century Europe, visiting the Contarelli and Cerasi Chapels in Rome, the Scottish Highlands, Irish Villages, canals of Venice, the old world charm of Prague and Vienna, the art world charm of Florence and Tuscany, and so many more places that I have mistakenly failed to mention at this present moment. ----
