Born and raised in Chicago.
Traveled around a good portion of the country for work and pleasure.
Been to Los Angeles (LA) and Louisiana (LA).
Never been to NY, very few people tell me I am missing anything, yet I still will go sometime.
Living in SoFlo since 2003.

I would describe myself by saying - strong mind, strong back, strong heart.
All the credit should go to my parents.

Buddha quote -
"Make an island of yourself,
make yourself your refuge;
there is no other refuge.
Make truth your island,
make truth your refuge;
there is no other refuge."

All animals love me, I love all animals!

"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
Albert Einstein

I have enjoyed success on many levels in my life, academic, sports, personal relationships.

"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." Winston Churchill

Some fruits, vegetables, and foods I don't like beginning with "A" -
Acorn squash, apricot, anchovies, artichoke, arugula, asparagus, avocado.
I do love apples, of which, golden delicious are my favorites.

Sagittarians aren't known for playing it safe. Instead, they explore everything to the hilt and experience excesses that most people wouldn't even consider! It's what being a member of an expansive, enthusiastic sign is all about! Fortunately, the heavens smile on them and most land on their feet.

I have never been afraid to take chances.
Landed on both my head and my feet a few times.

Is a picture worth a thousand words? According to the Holographic Principle, the most information you can get from this image is about 3 x 1065 bits for a normal sized computer monitor. The Holographic Principle, yet unproven, states that there is a maximum amount of information content held by regions adjacent to any surface. Therefore, counter-intuitively, the information content inside a room depends not on the volume of the room but on the area of the bounding walls. The principle derives from the idea that the Planck length, the length scale where quantum mechanics begins to dominate classical gravity, is one side of an area that can hold only about one bit of information. The limit was first postulated by physicist Gerard 't Hooft in 1993. It can arise from generalizations from seemingly distant speculation that the information held by a black hole is determined not by its enclosed volume but by the surface area of its event horizon. The term "holographic" arises from a hologram analogy where three-dimension images are created by projecting light though a flat screen. Beware, different people looking at the same image may not claim to see 3 x 1065 bits -- they might claim to see a teapot.
