About Me

I am living in a small town in the middle of Maryland (about half-way between Baltimore and Washington, DC). My wife and I have recently purchased our first home in a historic area of Maryland, which M.Night Shyamalan would be able to film a period movie in. I do a great deal of reading and home improvements (our house was built right before the civil war and there are always renovation surprises!). Against my best judgment this year I have taken up golf and have embraced the fact that I may be as bad as humanly possible at something. I am now working under the impression that golf pros are either robots or superhuman. I live quietly with my wife, cat, and dachshund Levi and am in a constant state of renovation. Between rocking out and renovating I am working on my MBA, hopefully by 2008 we will have that bit of unpleasantness done!PLEASE consider supporting project RED, take a couple of minutes to see how you can help end the blight of AIDS in Africa, there is so much that you can do locally .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Tom Szaky, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Lech Walesa, Wislawa Szymborska, Ani DiFranco, Pete Doherty , Joseph Campbell

Wall Street Journal  Wilco

I am reading Friday's WSJ and there is an article that the new Wilco album Blue Sky is boring, I can hardly believe it. I can't think of a band that is a better carrier of the standard of roots music ...
