I've been around for a long, long year

i am a stroke survivor. i had an ischemic stroke 4 years ago that partially paralyzed my left arm and leg. before that i had been a liquor store clerk and assistant store manager, a store resetter, architectural designer and technical draftsman, graphic artist, dishwasher!, etc, etc, etc.
two of my passions in life is ecologically responsible agriculture and sustainable building design through rethinking our current practices in the metropolitan inner city core and the rehabilitation of abandoned properties. phew! that was a mouthful!
i'm a rampant todd rundgren fan, an ardent brian eno devotee, a beatlemaniac and an inveterate power popsters. i also have an unnatural fondness for stephen sondheim musicals. i love all forms of art - painting, sculpture, et al.
i'll be posting on a wide selection of topics as my tastes are fairly catholic in those regards. i look forward to your feedback.
thank you for taking the time to read this and i hope you find me worth following.
