About Me

I've discovered that midnight bike rides are a fuckin' blast. Weekends are for camping with Zu and our entourage of half-pint savages, so if you don't see me around, that's why. Forest, desert, mountains, seacoast...dosen't matter, as long as its far away from the bastards of 'normal' society. And if you DO see me around and I don't acknowledge you, its probably because my headphones are too loud. As usual. Now, let's have a drink, shall we? My daughter's name is Opal and she calls me "Papa", not "Daddy". She knows more Slayer lyrics than you...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Sasquatch, the Yeti, and Mokelembembe.
