I am alert, vaguely ethnic, and wry-bred.

My Self-Summary

My work consists of trying to help people think about mathematics in light, graceful ways. Personally I am introverted and use teaching and writing as surrogate social activities, along with reading and yoga. I would enjoy meeting people for activities around town, or talking, or dinner. The last person who I dated told me after we switched over to friendship that I am funny and kind.

What I’m doing with my life

It's all pretty stable, but there's room in it for more people.

I’m really good at

I have written two books. I attempt the Saturday NY Times crossword. My house has some of the Galleria's old floor, and my garden has gray roses. I can count to two. I donate money to losing political causes that I keep hoping won't lose this next time around, and I have belonged to a CSA for ten years. Sometimes I can perceive people and situations well enough to figure out how to help a little bit.

The first things people usually notice about me

When I was younger, different people would tell me that I looked like every conceivable dark-haired male actor. My view was then and remains now that looking like Christopher Reeves and Dustin Hoffman simultaneously is impossible, but people see what people see.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I listen to classical music. Schubert is a favorite. It has been some time since I've read recreationally, but I have been through Jane Austen, P. G. Wodehouse, Tove Jansson, Penelope Fitzgerald, and Patrick O'Brian phases, also Charles Rosen and Alfred Brendel. Some movies that I liked at one time or another: Say Anything, Repo Man, the 1995 Amanda Root/Ciaran Hinds Persuasion, The Sweet Hereafter.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How to perceive freshly, reason incisively, behave esthetically, and speak nonplatitudinally.

Also, the Teletubbies.

On a typical Friday night I am

Doing yoga and then home listening to music and improving my teaching materials. But it's not as exciting as it sounds.

Less typically, at Pedalpalooza's "Sexy Bike Ride" last summer, since I was the only person in the group who felt any compunction to obey the traffic laws, I wound up riding around downtown Portland by myself on a brightly lit Friday evening wearing fishnet stockings. A group of construction workers seemed eager to befriend me.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I once got kicked out of Disneyland for being cynical.
