I like to laugh. Often. I am a monkey. I am the walrus. I am Batman.

I have lived in five different places in the last year beginning with New York, Seattle, Des Moines, Delaware, and now Albany. It's the job - got to love travelling the country to fight for what you believe in. I love it. I mean, would I have ever gone to Iowa otherwise? I think not. Would I have ever spent a week in Yakima, WA? I sincerely doubt it. Delaware is fun for tax-free shopping, but otherwise it's pretty much a suburb of Philadelphia, which is probably where I spent most of my non-working time, anyway. Albany is fine, it's Upstate New York, therefore, it is home. I do miss New York City like the dickens, though. I am nowhere near done with that city. I doubt I ever will be. But because of the new job, I get to be there a lot. So I suppose I have it really good.

I do, however, miss all of my friends in Philadelphia. Especially since it became Washington College north. I am closer to FM East (Boston) and the new FM city (New York). So I really can't complain. Friends all around. Friends I haven't met yet.

Other than that, I'm always working on life and having a great time. Besides the new job, also in the process of writing a musical with my theatre company in Philly. Check us out below. And if you're interested in hearing more of my musings and rants, then check out the blog, too. Yeah, who doesn't need to procrastinate every now and then?

If you can make me laugh, then that's really all it takes. Good conversation - any knowledge on current issues or even something random fits the bill, too. And if you're random, then butter.
