About Me

I'm working on my 10 minute mile. Parlo italiano but not well enough. My identical twin brother Kevin and I are moving back to Italy in a few years. Music is my outlet. I wish you could hear me play the piano. I drink at least one cup of tea a day, usually two. I'm trying to ween my Starbucks habit and it's actually working. I have a really interesting job but no talent for describing what I do. I'm attracted to strong personalities, though I lack one myself. I once had a roommate who met Johnny Depp in probably the funniest celebrity encounter ever. I have a god awful short term memory. I don't do well in large groups. I need to get at least 9 hours of sleep at night. I love to travel. My latest TV obsession is LA Ink. I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade. The first real concert I attended was the Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge on August 6th, 2000. I only gamble on penny slots. It's important to me to maintain old friendships. I'm ridiculously nostalgic. I only learned how to spell "ridiculous" this past year. I like it when I recognize indie songs in commercials. I sometimes think in Italian. I love the fall, especially on the east coast. I hope I age gracefully.

London

After the dig, we went down to London for 3 days, and in that 3 days I feel like I saw every inch of that city. That's a good thing, but it was exhausting. On Saturday we took the train down from Sout...
