About Me

Our household is doing well! The wedding was fun, the honeymoon was adventurous, the kids are all great. Our baby is due February 1. We will be welcoming a fun little boy. Cian Guy. I couldn't be more excited. I'm feeling him move now, especially when I'm at the gym. He must be trying to keep up with Mommy! It's nearly fall, which is the BEST time of year. Life is great!

My Interests

camping, fly fishing, hiking, trips to the coast, theater, cooking, hitting local dive bars with friends. i really want a canoe! I'd love to get into kayaking... trying my hand at photography and scrapbooking... reading reading reading. meditation, spiritual exploration.

I'd like to meet:

in the more famous spectrum.... many people. Historical political figures, to discover why they chose various courses of action. Religious figures, to ask why they believed what they did, simply for greater insight. in the more realistic spectrum... i joined for friends, but anyone who's polite with an open mind and good intentions is perfectly welcome to say hey.

Music:

I listen to nearly anything. Favorites include Sheryl Crow, Train, KT Tunstall, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, Martina McBride... to name a few

Movies:


.. You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

Books:

I am a book junkie. I can't control myself. If it does not involve sappy romance or aliens, I'll read it. Finished Harry Potter 7 in two days -- didn't care for the writing style of the first few hundred pages, felt her writing in the last 250 more than made up for it, though. Highly recommend Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I've read all 13, they're great for laugh factor. The Lovely Bones just entered my TOP 5. I absolutely recommend this novel!! It is so beautiful. Favorite book of all time? Bless Me Ultima, by Rudolfo Anaya. So beautiful! So amazing! Read it!

Thinking..

Physics rekindled a fire for me today. It started as a benign discussion on entropy, an explanation of the tendency of the universe toward disorder as opposed to order. But the discussion expanded, de...
