I'm a sucker for witty banter. I like people who keep me on my toes and know about interesting and amusing things. I enjoy the arts, and I like staying active... hiking, basketball, soccer, museums, some other stuff. I try hard at what I do and I appreciate good company. I'm not so bad at cooking, either.

Raising probation youth, and writing. I work with kids in the foster care system, and also an independent living program for kids with no where to go who have just gotten off probation. Basically, I try to help them get on their feet and keep 'em standing. It's an honest days work. And when I have the time and energy I try to get some creative things done.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.
-T. E. Lawrence

I like a good quote. Not so private, but at least I admitted it.

You're smart, have good taste and a pretty smile.
