Introduction Wishes he owned a dog. Someone who appreciates a good quote, the late Beethoven string quartets, Vietnamese food, the leadership of Jean Luc Picard, and any person's little known quirk or otherwise general slyness. I can definitely set agendas, give orders, take orders, cooperate, act alone, answer questions, analyze a problem, make wine and cook a tasty meal. If pressed, I could probably change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, compose a symphony, bandage a cut, design an imaginary world, write a book, comfort the dying, love tragically and die gallantly.
