Vacation can't get here soon enough!

About Me

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out, thoroughly used up, chocolate in one hand, dirty vodka martini in the other, shouting - WOW...what a ride!

He who has been in Italy can forget all other regions. Who has been in Heaven does not desire the Earth. -- Nikolai Gogol

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. -- Martin Buber

Beware the man of one book. -- Latin Proverb

I'd like to meet:

I've already met Bono, but I was a bumbling mute at the occasion, so I'd like another shot to have an intelligent conversation with him. Other than that, maybe Lance Armstrong, The Pope, Bill Clinton, Salman Rushdie and Michelangelo. Now that would be a dinner party!
