About Me

when in doubt: throw paper

My Interests

sundays, trips to the beach or mountains with sara & amelia, talking politics & social issues, traveling like a first-class pedestrian, take-out, brunello and rose when we can afford it, micro-micro brews, grilling fresh salmon & vegetables with good folks in the summer time, things that make me think, things that make me smile, making fun of people who deserve it, making fun of people who deserve it and don't know i am making fun of them, mariner baseball, seahawk football, the ducks, the longhorns & the blazers again!

I'd like to meet:

bill maher, jon stewart, robin williams, bill murray, chevy chase, barack obama, charles grodin, bill & hillary clinton, molly ivins, samantha bee, winona ryder, audrey tautou, scarlett johansson, ann richards & jesus, if i got this whole jesus was a good guy thing right, but only if i got it right. all over at the house for some grilled fresh salmon and a bottle (or a few) of 92' billecart-salmon rose and 97' ciacci brunello riserva. hopefully jesus is a good guy, because with him there, if we ran out of fish or wine, no one would have to make a run to the market.
