About Me

I'll keep this simple. I like the company of good friends, drinking cold beer, laughing so hard it hurts, watching sports in person or on t.v., my dogs, not taking myself too seriously, lazy weekends, being active, watching movies, going to the beach or shore, getting lost, run-on sentences, a Ketel One and club soda, visiting museums, captivating books, posing hypothetical questions, good conversation or debate, impersonating Big Al, concerts, meeting and getting to know people, going crazy every now and then, getting out of the country, being left handed in a right handed world, gin and tonics, hearing a good story, road trips and learning something new everyday... if you would like to know more just drop a line sometime.

Jim Gaffigan and Hot Pockets!

I turn my camera on

Random thoughts from a Summer almost gone: The Coldplay show in Camden was great. Ill admit I went in with low expectations, but came away pleasantly surprised with the high energy from both the ban...

And knowing is half the battle
