Big, red, loud, happy, big plans,for the future, but lazy. I live in Takoma Park now. My home will always be in TkPk, where the speed bumps are perfect for huge ollies, and the trees are taller than the houses. I like dailykos and Jimmy Carter. I hated Wilmington, NC. Durham is much better. Friends are good to have, and a wife is too. Somehow she puts up with me. I have a huge extended family (28 cousins), and the most fun is when the 'kids' eat dinner downstairs, and the adults eat dinner upstairs, argue about politics, and everyone yells HEYYY! when someone comes in the front door. I used to work with endangered birds, and I miss holding a newly hatched whooping crane chick and knowing that I held 1/300 of the entire population and all that. I Like community supported agriculture, I hate new 'homes', and I am very opinionated about music. Ask the Bear if you don't believe me.

Old friends, mostly.
