Just a jovial geek. My greatest pleasures are simple. I love knots—that a length rope combined with a little knowledge can become a dozen different tools. The way a good writer, using words we all know, can say something new, change the way we think or even the world itself. I’m an empiricist in a universe full of wonders - a million interests and neither time nor brains enough to pursue them all, so far I’ve been awfully happy trying!
