What do I say about me? Well, I love music, reading, dogs, traveling, mythology and coffee. I love all sorts of music and have lost track of all the concerts I've been to. In fact, as I'm writing this, I've just gotten back from seeing my favorite singer and songwriter in concert. I'm also a giant geek. It's the golden age of TV and film for me, so I've told all the streaming services to "shut up and take my money!" with adaptations of the "Wheel of Time", "The Expanse", and "Umbrella Academy" on my watchlist and all the "Star Trek" I could ever ask for.

Experiencing A Rare Sight In Southern Utah
