My Epitaph: So long, and thanks for all the fish...
Fisheries Surveys I do groundfish research aboard chartered fishing vessels in Alaska. We trawl (about 5 per day) and sort and weigh the catch. The data we bring back to the lab is used to calculate the quotas for the commercial fishing industry. I've been as far west as Stalemate Bank and as far north as St. Lawrence Island.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Her, if she exists.
The man I should have been.
The person you should be.

And on a shallower note: Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Rachel McAdams, Sting, Kate Winslet, Donald Faison, Kate Beckinsdale, Rachel Weiss, Owen Wilson, Matt Damon.

I never smile. Showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates. When someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life.

Movie - In America

Until today, I had resisted watching the movie, "In America," because of the triteness of the title.  Even the UK and Brazilian titles, respectively "East of Harlem" and "Terra dos Sonhos" (Land ...
