Welcome to my lair. Feel free to explore the treasures held within. I was given the name Kirk in the year of the Fire Horse between the towns of Calimesa and Yucaipa in the land of the Golden Bear. Since then I've not ventured far from home to make my own, and have watched with fascination how the world expands and then shrinks around me as websites and technology give us the illusion of controlling or understanding space and time.
