About Me

I'm half-deaf. That about sums it up.

Ok... I help keep the world cool. I fix and install refrigeration equipment and air conditiong/heating systems. I enjoy getting my hands dirty with some honest work. My office changes everyday. Granted, I don't really have a 'desk' to put pictures of my dearest family and that little thing that holds pens and paperclips, but I get by. I get to work with mechanics, physics and electricity everyday at work and am always learning something new. That I love. And everyone loves the air conditioning guy.

I am a livingroom musician who loves a little classical/spanish guitar. I love my road bike, but I generally hate people in spandex bike attire. Give me some blue jeans and a t-shirt and I am ready to ride. I have an ever-growing intrest in the physics of electricity. I am modestly attempting to learn to speak some German. I like enjoying some of the good stuff. You know what I mean. If you don't, nevermind that...

My Interests

not getting run over, riding my bike, reaching inner peace, explosions, learning new things, trying to remember, being diplomatic, sparring, cool days with a warm sun, thinking of Portland, wishing I was there, having a drink, scaring myself sober, making fun of folks, getting made fun of back, reading, having conversations in a smokey bar, things that don't have a sales pitch, guitar, the Ocean, swimming pools, smart people, having a good healthy dispute, rivers, clouds that resemble things

Quite a variety. Read a lot of science fiction as a kid. I very much enjoy most of Stephen King's stuff, and I must give a big ol' giant thumbs up to Isaac Asimov. Hunter S.
