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. You're too kind - I was only doing what comes naturally to me. It's the humanity behind your initiative and that of those who wrote to you in the first place that is truly praiseworthy.

Thanks for giving us all this opportunity to get in touch with our higher selves. Facilitating a movement is as important as kickstarting it...

Wish you a very Happy New Year, my friend!

Safe travels!
