: About Me

I am who I am-that's all that can really be said. I write about whatever strikes my fancy at a particular moment, or whatever memories arise from the stacks in my brain. I read just about everything that I see, and often get distracted doing so. I'm inordinately fond of trivia, and enjoy finding connections in places apparently devoid of such.

My passion is ...

knowledge, in all its forms.

I know too much about ...

My best moment ...

is every moment that I live.

My inspiration ...

is the world and everything in it.
