'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com
A few words to describe me: goofy, dorky, sincere, smart, terrible with directions but frequently get asked for them, famous for telling stories that lead nowhere but occasionally I tell good ones that really do have a point! Analytical, semi-reformed leadfoot, adventurous, playful, messy but mostly in my own space (my space - get it? ha!). Ok, like I said, I'm a bit of a dork. Where was I? Vegetarian but not really since I eat seafood. Can you blame me? I get lobsters delivered straight to my door (or kayak) at my summer house on the coast of Maine. Honest, loyal, flawed, human. Ummm... I'm sure there's more, but that's a start.

And for those wondering about my panties...
Your Lucky Underwear is Yellow
You're an extremely happy, laid back, fun soul. And your lucky yellow underwear can help you get even more out of life.
In life, you rather play than work. You're apt to quit any task that doesn't nourish your creativity and inner child.
Sometimes your drive for freedom hinders your quality of life. You find it impossible to do anything unpleasant.
If you want to have responsibilities and still have fun, put on your yellow underpants. They'll help you make a party out of the most mundane tasks. What Color Is Your Lucky Underwear?

My Interests

coffee with cinnamon, hiking, running (5k to marathons), yoga, skiing/snowboarding (although I haven't been for a few years), kayaking, just about anything outdoors, live music, good food, dark chocolate, port, traveling to foreign lands, speaking in foreign tongues, family time, solitude, good friends

The run - one loop of the Mall turning around at 14th St.Lungs - felt pretty bad, like when I wasn't really using any inhalers for a few weeks. Maybe the poison ivy did affect them.Pace - started out ...

Winter Rain CAN Be Fun

I hate cold rain. But more than that, I hate the way too much time spent eating too much sugar and other bad stuff and not enough time exercising makes me feel. So when I stepped outside my office thi...
