About me

Gender Male
Location Ft. Collins, Colorado, United States
Introduction I'm making the transition from the Deep South to the Mountain Zone. This blog is a friendly update as to my status. Fourteen years ago, I returned to Florida from New York to "you know, hang out and work for awhile until the next Great Thing to Do comes up". The Next Great Thing never showed up, so I'm setting off to kick it's ass. The ungrateful bastard still owes me a flying car and some food pills that I was promised for the year 2000. I figure it's hiding out somewhere in Colorado. Come along and share in the hunt.

Theatre, art, cartooning and comics, really bad films, really good films, peanut-butter-and-sweet-pickle-relish sandwiches (don't ask), sailing, history, technology and science, education, eclectic music (primarily 80's New Wave, but open to much), skepticism, literature, animation, tasteless humor, tasteful humor and multimedia art pieces, the Refractory period of American history, Survival Research Laboratories, gum.
