I've started writing again and I'm blogging on the2scoops.blogspot.com . I can't live without: music or books, live concerts, movies, wine women and song, exploring the city, cooking, magazines and comics. I hope to learn a musical instrument sooner rather than later and I need to get a new bike this summer. I'm good for a card game, shooting pool and other things that would never be classified as a "sport".
I'd like to meet:
Everyone except for the fratboys, close-minded people, haters, and mail-order brides.
