I keep rewriting my self-summary. This is probably my dozenth attempt. Let's see how this iteration unfolds. I see myself as being an uncomplicated person. I value sincerity and have never been a fan of obfuscation.

I need to stop myself. It seems like I'm being too vague and am not painting a vibrant picture of myself. Incidentally, I do enjoy painting. It's a great feeling laying out some amorphous blotches of color and then adding detail until voila! something pretty materializes right before my eyes.

I used to love minutiae. I still do but I used to too. (This joke will definitely get the ax in the next incarnation) I don't know why I'm drawing attention to my small-picture-mindedness. Now, you'll think I don't have what it takes to be a CEO. That's one kind of mustard I'm more than happy to be unable to cut.

I like being active. Over the course of a typical week, you'll find me salsa dancing, ice skating, hitting the gym, inline skating, walking, unicycling, playing tennis, etc.

I'm an excellent chef. My vegan fare is the stuff of legends. Lately I've been honing my quesadillas (admittedly not a complicated entree but I am a perfectionist)

I'm also a formidable Words With Friends adversary.

Sometimes people think I'm tall even though I'm only an inch taller than average.

Other than that, the fact that I'm swimming upstream. (I'm not really a subversive but it amuses me to think of myself as a salmon with a human face)
