Slightly addled, and generally optimistic. I enjoy meandering about with friends through the wilderness, flailing on rock and trying to learn how to become braver in this regard, playing games (have a budding, and will hopefully be a curable, addiction to Root), being goofy, photographing wildlife, and trying to maintain a sense of acceptance and optimism as I learn whatever I can about this life thing within which we’re all embedded. Ever aware that I know little and recognize the permanence of this frailty, I pray that folks will recognize such deficiencies whenever I blunder, for that seems to be the primary human condition from what I can discern: being a fool. Oh, books are good too. Same with laughter and smiles. Those things, those are the things.
