I've spent most of my life concerned about the future. Recently, I've made a commitment to myself to be more in the present.

Mildly scared of heights.

Interests

A big sports fan, though my tastes have changed a bit. My first loves have always been hockey and tennis, but these days a prefer futbol to football and cricket to baseball.

I enjoy baking, specializing in chocolate chip cookies.

I love the feel of cards in my hands, and can pick up hands pretty quickly. Scrabble and crossword enthusiast as well.
