There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who *get* binary, and those who don't.

About Me


I saw a Bjork bumper sticker on the back of an old beat up Ford F150, and I knew I was home.

I'm kinda artsy, in attitude if not always practice. I absolutely do not believe in absolutes. (hee hee) I don't like beating around the bush yet I think it takes a certain amount of tact to get through life. I don't make up my mind very often, but when I do I'm very stubborn. I'm easily distracted. OOooh!! Shiney!!

What was I talking about?

My Interests



I like campfires and friends, the beach and the forest, mountains covered with snow, the turn of the seasons, fresh organic vegetables, quiet moments, loud belly laughs, a good hamburger, melodic music, smiles, road trips, hugs, mushrooms, visiting new places, vivid colors, staying home, my rose pink Nintendo DS, early mornings and adventure.

Honest, funny, interesting, caring people.

Pulse Check

Hi I'm not dead. Remicade makes me very, very tired, but is otherwise working. My skin is actually clearing up. It's almost shocking. More later.

I need your good thoughts

Tomorrow I get my first infusion of Remicade. I'm scared. http://www.remicade.com/remicade/global/index.html Hopefully it doesn't knock me out too badly. Cross your fingers....
