ABOUT ME

working on finishing my dissertation in theology here in dublin before heading back to the states. my partner and i love cooking and hiking together. acculturating to dublin has been more challenging than expected, but our trips out of the city have been magical.

me: big laugh, unyielding sarcasm, tight hugs, firm handshakes, wide smile, genuine kindness.

hospitality is my specialty.

PHILOSOPHY

this too shall pass.
everything in stride.

音乐、电影和书籍

i love the feel of the morning paper in my hand. i love laughing as i leaf through my newsweek. i usually read when my mind isn't already saturated with many other things. right now it is filled with theology...
i love light-hearted comedy and witty satire. i'm a fan of mean girls and stick it, and i love watching batman begins over and over again. (just saw dark knight...not dissappointed...but still love the previous).
music, i'm really eclectic. i love james taylor, dispatch, bob marley...and motown, the roots, common, mos def...and old school madonna and michael jackson...and frank sinatra...and debussy, ravel and the boston pops...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

i am awestruck at the site of nature. my time in california is best described by the backpacking trips i led in yosemite. the vastness was breathtaking.
in ireland, i was overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the giant's cuaseway. only with hindsight am i able to understand my appreciation for it. it rocked my geology-nerd socks off!

教，学，和分享

love storytelling.
love to learn complex card games like my grandparents played (bridge, peanuckle and canasta).
