A wise man once said, "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me." That man, was dressed like a bat.

Ok, technically, his friend Rachel said it first, to him, and then when he said it back to her towards the end of the movie she was all like, "Bruce?" And then he flew away.

Ok, technically, he didn't fly...he just sort of jumped off the building and used some material science to glide, presumably to another rooftop where he scared the bejesus out of someone who was just tending to her little rooftop garden, minding her own business, humming that tune she can't get out of her head when - BAM! - a guy dressed as a bat lands next to her.

The point is, we're all just trying to figure out who we are in this crazy world. Some people seem to have it all figured out (Rachel). Some of us seem to have trouble being ourselves and feel more comfortable wearing a mask (Bruce). And some of us are just tending our own little rooftop gardens, hoping no one comes along and crushes the tomato plant.

I certainly don't have things figured out. And I'm not Batman (sorry, kids). And I'm not Bruce (sorry, honey).

But, I do like to wing it.

(high five!)

This site is, in a way, an honest, imperfect, and incomplete answer to the age-old question that keeps some of us up at night (with or without the bat constume): "Who are you?"

Thanks for stopping by. Mind the tomatoes.
