wine, music, travel, photography, art, photography as art, bar talk, jukeboxes, more wine, interesting experiences, windchimes, my cats, cold cold beer, enchiladas, strangers, observing people, neon lights, feeling good, perseverence, people who can turn me on to new things, healthy balance of intensity and mellowness, the magic hour when the natural light changes around us, hanging out with my friends, and trying to maintain...oh and hot cheetos.
interesting, smart, fun, positive people from anywhere for friends..
