I am trying to make friends in other parts of the world. I am terrible at talking about myself...I am pretty well known for how mellow I am. I love to talk about ideas that stretch my brain muscles. I enjoy cooking. Especially grilling and smoking. My friends consider me to be a "pit master", but that isn't a title I self apply. I also love connecting with nature, even though I don't get nearly enough opportunities to do so. I am a huge fan of movies and music, and I could talk about both topics for hours.
