I tend to march to the beat of my own whistle — that is, with a flair for the extraordinary, albeit at the leisurely pace of an ambulatory crysanthemum caper (provided the chrysanthemums oblige). I’m enlivened when an opportunity arises to revivify a wilting process; this can be seen in my many hobbies, some of which include: metal casting, music & myth‐making, and most saliently, writing. I’d consider my journey through life rather laid‐back, though I'm always chasing the next idea. I'd hate to find myself in a world where curiosity had been forgotten.
