I've been through alot of difficult stuff in my life, and while there are plenty of folks who've had it worse,some of my experiences are rather unusual and I think they've given me a pretty unique point of view on many subjects. I'm continually trying to become a better me, whatever that ends up meaning, and I'm in love with LEARNING... I'm also a voracious reader (preferably scifi/fantasy), a gamer from the OLD old skool (think Vic20) and a semi-novice geocacher.
