About Me

This is my dream....purchase some shitty camper; drive around the US, Canada and Latin America; camp in beautiful National Parks, sketchy rest stops, and along side the scenic highways; find comfort and strength in doing this by myself or perhaps with a nice, big dog; re-read Abbey, Steinbeck, Hesse, Didion, Miller, Thomas and others at night by campfire or flashlight; eat from passing fruit stands; take phone calls only from Mom, Dad and Jamie; re-learn to play the guitar and entertain myself with the blues; shoot guns; write postcards to my friends reassuring them I'm alive; master landscape photography; and wake up early to the sunrise.

My Interests

Committing ideas, ramblings, and greatness to papyrus. Gettin' radical. Vagabonding. The working class. Rock n' roll. Vegetable gardens. Compost piles. Newsstands. Bob Dylan's "Masters of War". Hiking in the Sierras. Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale. Starry skies. The backroads of California.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with a beach house in Morro Bay and wouldn't mind me living there all winter.
