What gets me excited? Good coffee, conversations which explore the why of things and the odd adventure sport or two.
I have always wanted to travel to other planets and stars, to live forever and to know how the story ends... Of course I have come to understand that some of those things may not happen, and I am learning to settle for exploring only what this rock has to offer.
I am keenly interested in how the world works, whether it be politically, economically, scientifically or cognitively. I tend to be fascinated my new things - perhaps to a fault.
