All I have is me. Over-worked, under-appreciated, middle-aged, and shriveled up.

I do my best to limit the amount of compromise in my life so I have more time to do what I want. Not hanging out with many people really helps. I am not a people person and I spend a great deal of time on my own and in this environment, I get a lot done.

Creating problems is easy. We do it all the time. Finding solutions, ones that last and produce good results, requires guts and care.

I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.

When you're little and you don't have much dough, you have to innovate. You have to be sharp.

In my world there would be as many public libraries as there are Starbucks.

I am a white guy in America with an education, albeit high school, but a pretty good one. Another guy from a different demographic or different ethnicity in America can look at me and say, "You take a lot for granted." Well... okay. I just live in a white male American reality, where I hear you but I don't know if I necessarily read you.
