run a business that was started in 1894. it does both require and allow me to travel quite a lot. eventually i'd like to own a little villa in northern bavaria -- went to university there and fell in love with *most* aspects of the place -- contrastingly, its criminal how expen$ive school (and health insurance) is here in the 'states. love languages and cultures. have found that simply 'hi', 'beer', and 'thanks'. works the world over so really 60 words can get you pretty much werever you need to go. good reflexes don't hurt either. love to do impressions like "the govinator", marge simpson, the bushies... generally better at men than women although with *aye-talians* it doesn't matter. quid pro quo. laughter is the spice of life! best concert i saw recently was janes' addiction and nine inch nails -- for pure dancing i like trance techno. the BEP album Energy Never Dies is right there along with more and more hip hop... listening to the chemical brothers as i write this... and as far as i am concerned, every time you hear nickelback, god kills a llama (not my idea but i support the sentiment) otherwise its dwarves all the way down. really into biking (dirt trail mostly - i deal with the cars when necessary unless its the autobahn) -- go lance! maybe next year. gonna wish he was on the 'roids still to hold off the schleck brothers and overtake contador. but with the right team.... hmmm! ... on a lesser note, lots of nice trails in the area here in PA -- heck it was part of germany only a few million years ago. check out 'teutoburger wald 9AD' -- a bridge too far? or 'Cannae 216' sometime. elephants are wondrous creatures.... ... full genetic disclosure: 25% sweedish, 50% scotts-irish and 25% whothehellknowswhat...

a coffee shop or a pub.... that isn't too loud to allow for conversation. i like people with intelligently backed opinions. languages turn me on. i've heard that the brain is the biggest sex organ... ka pa?
