I used to co-host a radio show called In Good Spirit, and every now and then I would poke fun at the self-anointed gurus of new age meditation. I've always said, if you can't laugh at yourself, you're obviously looking in the wrong mirror.

Like many people, I'm interested in the world beyond my front door. I've been fortunate in my life to have travelled to over 30 different countries, both as a tourist, as an adventurer and as a glutton for the human spirit. Lately, responsibility and finances have sidelined my travels, but my wanderlust has never subsided.
In truth, my heart aches to be on the road. My Austro-Hungarian grandmother use to tell me that we come from Gypsy blood. Imagined or real, I believed this story. Without a doubt, I have the traveler spirit coarsing through each and every one of my cells.

So here, in this small, cramped space on my very obscure and lonely blog, I will do my small part to restore Mr. Dodgson to his rightful place in the pantheon of great minds, and even greater spirits.
And by the way, how much music, art or film would there be to talk about, if the creative minds that explored them didn’t have a small dose of perversity floating around in there with all that genius?
