About

I'm Sam, 31, I live close to DC. I like arty stuff, pop culture, good food. I wish I had more time to read. I wish I traveled more. I need to drink more wine. I don't get to listen to enough music. I'm trying to catch up.

Some amateurish pictures I've taken myself are here .

Collecting interesting articles here .

I rarely get personal.

But I like email (probably a generational thing): sam88mph at gmail

“ Only by trying something new, struggling, learning, and then trying again do we improve our performance. It’s a simple matter of acclimating to unchartered territory.
