About Me

I moved to spain. i like ironic billboards and Comedy Central afternoon movies. I was almost bitten by a shark. But maybe it was a seashell. I exaggerate everything 3 fold. I'm 66 years old. I like math jokes. I play guitar and piano and the accordian. I try to play cello. I like music. I used to deliver Pizza for money. I capitalized Pizza because it is that important to me. I'm a nerd for stuff like grammar and punctuation. I blame that on Catholic School. I like to watch people in public places. I often make eye contact with strangers. This has gotten me punched in the face on at least one occasion.
