About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live more, laugh more, sing more, dance more, eat more, dream more, learn more, teach more.

ABOUT ME

I like to read interesting books, do interesting things and meet interesting people. I want to make the world a bit better for having been here. I love my job because it is "good" money, I make enough to take care of myself without taking from someone else, and the work I do helps others.
I like to knit. I also like to cook, but it is more fun if I have someone to cook for.
I think the world is an awesome and glorious place with an abundance of choices and that we are all connected on a molecular level.
"I like people, they're my species" -Maude.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, eat more chocolate.
