"We want a decent society. We better hold on to that dream—because if we don’t, we’ll sink closer and closer to this reality that we have, and that we don’t want." ~ Howard Zinn

Personal

Paul is a man of many but simple pleasures. He loves whales and refuses to narrow that to a particular type. He loves ice cream but will not name a particular flavor. Finally, he loves music and while he may be vague in that regard, he has amazing taste. This is a fact reflected in amazing vinyl collection that spans LP’s from the Beach Boys to the quintessential Jazz great, Clifford Brown.
