I grew up on the coast (Encinitas and Carlsbad) in a home where we
were only permitted to speak English when we had company, so it was
my absolution to throw myself into language studies. I was baptized
at 12 and started preaching fulltime at 17 until when in college I
decided to pursue a career as an auditor. To be entirely open I
bounced around between the ages of 17 and 24 from evangelist to
curriculum assistant for the Dean to makeup sales (traumatic and
multilaterally disastrous) to finally hotel operations and
accounting.
I am addicted to language and how it works, how we use it. So much so that I majored in linguistics - not that I've used it for much more than theoretical conversations. In fact, I love anything that's not entirely pragmatic. But first, a good 12 year single malt scotch to grease the cogs of our cranium!
I'm old. I listen to the Comodores and have a few dinner jackets - yes, I have jackets whose sole purpose is to be sported at dinner. I can at times be seen drawing on a redwood pipe with my chocolate scented tobacco. No, it's not meant to be inhaled.
I am in shape and workouts excite me. So do kayak adventures and wandering hikes that go to the edge of no where. I don't need a workout partner, but someone that values activity would be nice.
Ah, and I usually have some sort of facial hair, currently, as I recently reverted to Islam, I have a beard.
