Matt

Did I lock the door?

About Me

.. Undrafted. Inspired. Exhausted. Easily distracted. Nostalgic. Paranoid, but you'll see...
A smiling pessimist. The outlook is bad, no doubt. But do we have to take it all so seriously?

My Interests

Research. Fine print. Logistics. Persistence. Loyalty.
Humor. Late nights. Relaxation.
Restraint and a sense of timing. Seeking an even keel.
Red Sox. UCONN Huskies Men's Basketball (next year). Reminding Duke fans Coach K is 0-2 vs Calhoun in the Final Four.

I'd like to meet:

Pops Staples.
Good listeners.
A bitter retired NASA official with the file on how the moon landing was faked.
People from the past, but maybe not you, exactly.
