I have always been fascinated with the mystique and romance that trains seem to embody. The noir films about intrigue on the Orient Express to “Strangers on a Train” seduced me as I grew up. Whenever I would go out to the country, I would spend hours by the train tracks just waiting for the next engine to come on down the line. They are beautiful.

Sadly, America’s rail system sucks. My dream is to travel through Europe via rail. That would be too cool for words.

All my life, I have loved to write. It is really the only thing I am talented at. Now I just have to actually get off my ass and do something about it.

I never learned to swim because it wasn’t that I was afraid of drowning, but rather, I was afraid of getting eaten. One of the first movies I saw was Jaws, and that scared me more than you can imagine. So, I never learned how to swim.

That has to change, though.
