About Me
I am a lover of anything new and interesting which for me is anything I don't know - YET. I tend to think in pictures and concepts which makes Visual Thesaurus perfect for me. I would love to talk in little icon pictures. I usually read 3 or 4 books a week but lately I need to re-read a lot since my memory isn't so great. I enjoy History, Geography, Sociology, Spirituality, Mythology, Archeology and Anthropology - just about anything that is not too contrived and leads to the essence of the truth. Life at 50 is blissful & Joseph Campbell is my hero.

Least Favorite Word:
properHow do I describe something that is a contrived concept of the ideas of the time? It is an okay word by itself but in context it is annoying... Like the word "should" and "ought" and "decree".
