About Me

  • About Me: Sometimes I get the feeling that I was born in the wrong century. I like to do things the right way, even if it's the hard way, and I think that technology is unreliable. I'll put my faith in wood and steel, thank you very much. I love maps, and one of these days I'm going to mount a compass on the dashboard of my car and drive off into the hills.
