About Me

I never know what to write here. I talk too much about esoteric history and art. I wane philosophical. I write some really bad poems. I travel where I please the work takes me. I like home delivery and hiking in the woods. I'm becoming a product of my environment. Damn! I always said that I wouldn't.

My Interests

Theatre, Film, Classic/Sports Cars, History, College Sports, Jazz, Travel, Hiking/Camping, Cooking, and the Occasional Night on the Town

I'd like to meet:
