About Me:
Well I'm in Ithaca now, writing Java code in the middle of a nature preserve. Life is quite nice. I have finally rid myself of the post-Oberlin Nihilist Depression monster, cured by a wonderful lady who taught me to contra dance, and that music, farms, and the world are worth believing in.

eyes, fabulous taste in little straw hats. Gives
hugs like Hobbes greeting Calvin after school
though. Approach with extreme caution,
especially if you've brought food he likes.
He lent me his car to move a couple years ago
and sent my house wonderful packages of
yummy goodies. He is both quiet and
contemplative while simultaneously enjoying a
good joke with an explosive laugh. He's smart,
fun, and enjoys outdoors as much as I do. Rafe
introduced me to tossing around a softball. Who
knew something so simple could be so
satisfying?
accused, his is a warm, rough-and-tumble
and simultaneously gentle soul, a brother
deeply missed.
Rafe when he helped me cross the
scary bridge at Chance Creek. One
of my favorite things to do with Rafe
is slide down Mount Oberlin on
dining hall trays in the snow. You
should invite Rafe to visit you
because he comes bearing maple
sugar candy. Yum.
