About Me



Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Backgrounds at MySpace Toolbox !Irreverent, curious, generous, at times easily distracted, I'm confident, creative, empathetic, a good listener and a loyal friend.On weekends I enjoy sleeping late and savoring some organic black coffee with a warm chocolate chip muffin or some hot-off-the-griddle chocolate chip pancakes (with real maple syrup of course).Politically Liberal I enjoy discussing the state of this country and the world.History and science fascinate me and I enjoy watching the late Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" PBS series from time to time and reading Michio Kaku's physics books.Although much of my life I've lived in Minneapolis, San Francisco, West Hollywood, South Lake Tahoe, Seattle and Denver are places I've also lived and worked. The beauty of northern California up the coast into British Columbia really appeals to me.

My Interests

Good (non-fiction) books and diverse music, offbeat movies, amateur (ham) radio, ethnic foods, chocolate, my German Shepherd, wolves and nature, especially pristine forests, mountains, waterfalls and the Pacific ocean.

I'd like to meet:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" - Jack Kerouac
