For most of my life, I've thought of myself as pretty cool.

I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.

I am totally fascinated by people and our history as I understand and continue to explore it. People have so much to give and so far to go and yet we have given and gone a great distance. It's really just interesting to ask: why not? And see where that takes me.

Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together.

I spend a lot of time learning about bird watching.
