Born in Arizona. Son of an Arizona cattleman and an Illinois chicken farmer's daughter. One grandfather was a coal miner. Childhood pets included Dooner (that my parents manipulated me to name), Mitzi Fu, Mitzi Fu II, Squeaky, Stripes and a guinea pig named Nibbles, until coyote consumed it. In terms of mascots, went from being a Panther to a Tiger to a Spartan to an Artichoke to a Sun Devil. Have a family, but I guess I always have.

Collecting exacto knives, watching the life of a terrestrial isopod, Lonesome Dove, laughing, observing ocean waves, Johnny Cash, frothy, oy, The Wonder Years, stepping on bubble wrap, always wondering why people still use handkerchiefs and put them back, a good deep breath, the smell of a Balboa Island cinnamon roll, the invention of the wedgie, Ben-Hur, enjoying life as it is meant to be lived.
