I am here for Friends

About Me

Pensive yet friendly. A moderately social recluse. I work long hours and value time. It took me 30 years to start understanding what quality of life means. I like to wander and plan on doing mostly that for the rest of my life. I realize that I have a hell of a lot to learn, but as long as I'm open enough to keep learning, I'm doing just fine. I often contradict myself. My internal monologue frequently drives me to distraction. I like to kayak in summer, and ski in winter. During my off time I can be found downtown, at our favourite Piano Bar.
