I never know what to say in these things, the parts of my personality that are worth sharing, what might or might not be interesting to someone reading this. Maybe I’ll go with a list of ten, in no particular order, of things about me, and maybe one or two or three of those things will spark.

1. I’m more of a Mac person. I’m not one of those death-to-PCers, but I will always choose a Mac, if given a choice.
2. I’ve been listening to a lot of seventies music lately. I need someone to give me good new music to listen to.
3. Boston has turned me into a Red Sox fan. I’d never supported any team ever before. Now I own three player t-shirts.
4. Speaking of t-shirts, I bought like eight or so Obama t-shirts during the campaign. More probably.
5. One of my legs is longer than the other.
6. My first and favorite job was at a local children’s bookstore in Wichita where I grew up. I loved that job.
7. I have two cats. They are integral.
8. I feel it necessary to admit right up front, I am not much of a cook. I would be an excellent assistant, as in, “Could you please cut the potatoes up?” or “Could you set the table in that beautiful way you do?”
9. I’m sad I never met Jerry Orbach.
10. I make my bed every day because I believe getting into a made bed every night is a small luxury you can give yourself.

Writing, going back to school to get a certificate in graphic design, hanging out with friends, volunteering at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, really cleaning out my office.

Though not a chef, I am really good at making cookies from scratch, especially butterscotch-chip, oatmeal cookies. It's my signature cookie. I'm good at remembering commercial jingles and tv theme show lyrics. I'm good at listening. I'm good with witty, sarcastic or even snarky comebacks and sometimes I even think of them right when I need them. There's other stuff, but that's a start.

So many.

When Harry Met Sally, Crimes & Misdemeanors, The Great Muppet Caper, Jane Eyre, Hannah and Her Sisters. There are more.

Jane Eyre (now the book), the Miracle Life of Edgar Mint, So You Want To Be A Rock N' Roll Star, Triangle, About A Boy, What to Keep, London is the Best City In America. More. All the Ramona books from when I was a kid.

Semisonic, Dan Wilson, recently discovered the Clarks, Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Tom Petty. Again, there are more.

Mexican, especially guacamole, gnocchi, drinks one can put a lime in, things that include garlic, lattes, thai, croissants, brunch food. Ooh, ooh, churros with spicy chocolate dipping sauce at Toro. Pesto.

Why and why not.

And then of course what I need to get done, how hot or cold it might be outside, stories to write down and possible designs for future projects.

Usually in. Saturday seems to be the night I hang out with friends, out to dinner, watching a movie, playing games (that's cool again right?) or just sitting around drinking and laughing. It makes me happy.

You give good email.
