About Me

Describe Yourself:

I love the first sip of a Diet Coke. I am curious to a fault. I dig deep into people, ideas, songs, politics, film, art...things I don't understand make me a little crazy. I live life like I am pretty young, but have an old soul somehow. I think a lot. I change topics mid-stream.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

"There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure."

- Mark Twain

I guess I have gone digging for that treasure. I am looking for people that want to dig with me.

Hi Tom,
I made the group for our 2nd Pittsburgh Gathering. I invited all who came last year but thought you could get a few more to join us that I may have missed. I went from the sign in sheet and everyone didn't sign in. So if I missed anyone it wasn't on purpose.
I am so looking forward to this again.
Have a nice day.
