About Me

Click below to see my photos at Flickr.com:

I love red wine, good beer, music, incense, reading in bed, laughing, singing in my car, when I feel like the human spirit is magical, optimism, team work, goosebumps, sneezing, getting dirt underneath my fingernails, happy tears, soft t-shirts, Bob Dylan's harmonica, puppy breath, the sound of a coasting bicycle, possibilities...
I dislike pessimism (guilty), waste (guilty), stereotyping (guilty), betrayal (guilty), judgment (guilty), cleaning up other people's hair, animals dead on the side of the road...

Check out my blog.

discombobulation

Why is there "springtime" and "summertime" and "wintertime," but not "autumn-" or "falltime"?My head hurts.
