So, me in a nutshell...I am an active, professional, fun-loving gal with a penchant for grassroots politics. Lately my two favorite diversions are kayaking and mountain biking, though I do complete the 'adventure sports trifecta' with an occasional hiking trip. Community activism is extremely important to me and I spend a lot of my free time volunteering with a local Peace organization. (See them at www.michiganpeaceworks.org) During the daytime I can be found in a research lab, at night I like to catch some good local music. A perfect night in Ann Arbor includes one or more of the following: a great beer, great blues, a flick at the Michigan, a brain-tickling conversation over a steamy coffee, and/or a long stroll in the crisp evening air along the river at the Arb.My new city has been good to me so far, but I'm still trying to find the little secrets of the town. So far I've come up with the great naan at the Indo-Pak restaraunt around the corner, the amazing neighborhood Christmas light displays, the fact that Hines Park floods every time it rains (just enough for me to *possibly* get a kayak into), and one of my favorites...you can hear the high school football games from Wednesday night through Friday night in the Fall & if you choose to sit on the porch with a beer, you've got free entertainment.
