I'd say my motto is "Take the time to do something right." I am dedicated to my pursuits (although there may be too many of them), and I respect other people who are dedicated. I try to see every moment as a new opportunity to achieve something new, to create a thing of beauty, or to extend my love more to those who have it and to look again at those who don't. Semper incipe (Always begin) is another way to say it. I intend to renew my commitment to excellence with each breath.

I write for, edit, publish, sell, and distribute The Grub Street Grackle, a monthly literary magazine, and The Weekly Skreak, a free local supplement reviewing cultural events in the area.

If you're earnestly interested in something, I'm interested in you.
