Favorite Quote:
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods: <br /> There is a rapture on the lonely shore: <br /> There is society, where none intrudes.<br /> By the deep sea, and music in its roar: <br /> I love not man the less, but Nature more...

I'm sorry I didn't come
to school that day.
It's just that the weather
was too good just not to go.

I think I learned a
lot more than
I would have
at school.

I saw things dating
back to the 14th century
and ate a mixture of hot
tender lamb with a crispy white bread

I also sat on a rooftop overlooking midtown Manhattan
and wondered what
people were supposed to be doing
and what they were not.
