About me:
I am a wanderlust geek, nature enthusiast, mild mannered environmentalist & conservationist. As an patriotic American I hate George Bush, I'm trying to do as little impact as I can by consuming less, recycling more, riding my bike, living a non violent - Vegan diet and ethics. I pick up litter, an avid garbage picker and occasional dumpster diver (lotsa good stuff being tossed) I'm also an artist thru painting, drawing, and woodworking. I live for adventure and exploring like hiking/backpacking, cycling, traveling, photography. I love nature, listening to nature, watching nature, gardening in nature, and exploring it. I digg animals, trees, mountains, night skies, weird clouds & really extreme/bizzare weather. I'm tidy and dislike knick-knacks and clutter. Halloween rocks, Christmas sucks. Who ever invented black licorice needs to be jailed for life & the smell of tuna makes me wanna vomit. I'm the type of person to take a dying earthworm from the pavement and put it onto the grass, or move a bug outside instead of killing it (if my cats don't eat it first) I carry my digital camera and audio recorder with me often to capture weird stuff, sounds, people, but usually nature oriented stuff. Great guitar playing gives me goosebumps. And, Andrew Zimmern is an asshole.

"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life... I think what we're really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive" ~~Joseph Campbell.

We have a situation, ya look in a window in these modern gyms… people are riding their bikes to nowhere, what are you doing!? People are on treadmills and run to nowhere, what is up with that!? Why don’t you walk someplace? Get something done!(Bill Nie the Science Guy-2007)

Change begins with me, instead of resisting and fighting a world that I don't like to see, I'd rather spend the energy creating a world that I envision.

Dave, I thought I had that flyer on the Third Party Recs history page but it wasn't there. I have a box here in Chicago that it could possibly be in, otherwise its packed away in Buffalo.
Hope all is well. Happy New Year to you and your lady and please pass the same along to Darin!
