I am active and inquisitive. I like cycling, tennis, frisbee. I like learning and exploring various subjects, including history, the sciences, and geography. I don't watch much TV but I like Jon Stewart and Discover. I work in the East Valley as a physical therapist. I have lived in several places in and out of the US and expect to continue to experience new places. I am planning to export myself to foreign parts in a few years to ply my trade and soak up foreignness among foreigners.

I like to cook, read, study, watch movies, get out in the fresh air, write, work on hobbies (programming, carving, sewing, math and physics uh-huh!). Dinner and conversation and a movie at home make a great evening. So do frisbee and hot tub and pizza. I enjoy game night with friends, but I am still trying to figure out how to do it without snacking excessively. I usually read myself to sleep at day's end.

I like people with active gray matter, people who can string together original thoughts or ooze cleverness or churn out fascinating information, people who are humorous, people who are curious about the world and who like to discover new things and new points of view. I like kids; they are cute and surprising.

A person's way of thinking is important. Tolerance and respect of other people are important. Discussion and argument are commodities and are great ways to share ideas and inform oneself, not just to influence others. Well-reasoned views are worthwhile views; opinions based on authority are worth little. This includes one's opinions on deities and spirits. I often connect better with people with a natural worldview, and less well with people who believe in spirit healing and supernatural powers.

I took The Politics Test: In spite of the label it tagged me with, I am not a Democrat, but I am even less a Republican. In spite of their convenience I disdain labels, at least when someone tries to tag one on me. They carry too much baggage and they shackle. And they are rarely properly descriptive.

Avoiding tuna lasagna.

1) Hitting the snooze button, especially when I hear Scott Simon--I don't know when I developed a distaste for him.

2) Making jokes that fly under the radar. It's the delivery. Or maybe I mumble. A few people tune into my quips and reinforce my opinion that I am, in fact, sane. Others never notice the jokes but do notice that I say some weird things. Others just think I AM weird. This last group is correct, but for the wrong reasons.

3) Eating my veggies. I am pretty good at fixing them, too.

I have an awesome widow's peak. Remember Eddie Munster? Or was it Grandpa?

The fingers on my right hand. Yes, Inigo was looking for me. After all, I paid only a fraction of the price I had promised his father for that beautiful sword.

I like a sharp chef's knife, too. It's the single most useful tool in the kitchen.

What I just said. Did it make any sense?

My socks don't match.

You can stand the thought of a reply.
