Introduction Welcome to my blog Above a Chinese Restaurant. Check it out regularly for photos and observations from my everyday, semi-ordinary life. Who am I? At six foot, 165 lbs., with brwn/brwn, I'm fair, with swimmer's build. I'm an ambitious, articulate, creative and organized, super-involved, accomplished go-getter with committment and steadfast loyalty to my family, friends, and community. Through my daily deeds and words, I aim to be my authentic self.

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

I'd be a very clean, fastidious frog. With lots of "Prince-like" aspirations.
