Things are only as difficult as you make them.

About Me

I like reading and writing. I'm a bit left of center. I enjoy good conversation. I will probably add you if you ask.

My Interests

History, sports, politics, art, music.

I'd like to meet:



Music:

I'm too lazy to list the many bands I like. Just ask.

Movies:

Anything that's not called The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.

Books:

Mostly history, some fiction.
