I love deep conversations and great debates. I get excited by new ideas and new ways of knowing the world. A night out dancing is a favorite way to let loose. I love to be in natural settings and often head upstate to un-wilt the parts of me the city can get to. I am not a master of pun-fu but I have great respect for the art and relish the chance to throw down when the time is right and the company is fine.

Working for an arts organization in a role that has me traveling frequently nationally and internationally.

Listening, telling stories, being curious...

My eyes and that I use words sparingly.

Books - Sex at Dawn, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, The Slight Edge, Harry Potter, The Life of Pi. I'm developing a taste for biographies; I thought "Steve Jobs" was awesome and really dug "Team of Rivals". Working on "Guns, Germs, and Steel."

TV - Not so much, but when it happens something like The West Wing, House, The Newsroom, The Dailyshow, or Sherlock

Food - Spicy, unique, creative, courageous... the way I like my women. ;)

People I love

How to do things in a way I like more.
Why people do as they do.
How strange and beautiful the world is.

Counting the stars. (Difficult given the light pollution)

As a child I thought wearing tights was awesome and would enjoy dressing up as various strong legged heroes.

You know know you're a delicious human being (whether or not you'd readily declare it).
You find the idea that there're eight million people living in NYC that can't see the stars very sad.
You know sometimes the Fool is the wisest one around, and you dig it.
