About Me


For V.P.I. we'll ever cheer;
Come lift your voices, swell the song,
All loyal sons and daughters, one,
We raise our banner to the sun;
Our motto brings a spirit true,
That we may ever serve you.
i wanna breeze and an open mind, i wanna swim in the ocean, wanna take my time for me.
A few of my favorite things… live music – Bare Feet (I'll settle for a good hard used pair of flops) - any kind of peppers, yum – riding my beach cruiser 5 blocks to work – my renewed addiction to coffee – my turquoise rings and brown leather boots – bizarre house plants – pumpkin carving and Frank Sinatra – red red wine – gammon and bocce on the beach – feathered blennys – clumsy dogs – mini golf - crossword puzzles and a big breakfast outside – tall, bright wild flowers – green green grass and the smell of it freshly cut – my old fireplace at 73rd St. that would smoke you out of the house – the swing seat/tables at Rudee’s on the inlet – the way the sun filters through the water fountain spray at 6:05 in front of the Boulder Court House on Pearl – photo albums – the guy who plays guitar for pocket change outside of my office in the afternoons – sandalwood – old vinyl records with the crackle and pop that just can’t be replaced by cd’s or an ipod – i love the “ugly colours” in the crayon box and blue highway roadtrips
