Aimless book collector constrained by the limitations of memory. Mostly thinking about Greece and Rome when not reading SF. Coffee addict. Appalled by what we have done and where we are. Often found looking through a lens at insects and other detritus.

Take me to the river,
drop me in the water
Dip me in the river,
drop me in the water
Washing me down,
washing me down.

Most doctors agree on a simple plan for life:
- drink plenty of water
- exercise often
- cultivate a fine coat of moss
- grow out your antlers & fangs
- wander the wildlands as a creature of myth and gloomy legend.
