About Me

My name is Zoey (just in case you hadn't gathered that) and, yes, I am the famous mathematician who solved the Riemann hypothesis AND baked the World's Largest Cookie-- all in the same day. Yeah, I'm awesome like that.
So, as you can see, I'm a geek.:P I say random, absurd things because that's how my brain works. I can plot out a logical, linear argument when need be but my typical extemporaneous self is a bit... idiosyncratic. :)
So, what do I do? Day to day, I travel. My fiancÃ©, our furball cats, and I are traveling to every major city in every state across the good ol' United States for a year. How do we do this? In a giant, totally tricked-out, super-sweet RV. Having a home on wheels seemed weird at first, but it has turned out to be lots of fun. It's so cool to look out your window each week and see something totally different. Why are we doing this? Without going into detail, it's for work. Let's just say that it's not a bad gig. ;)
I'm voting for Barack Obama. :)

Will the real Obama please stand up?

The argument that all candidates "move toward the center" doesn't hold water in this election. Sen. Obama could have the Presidency offered to him on a plate if he would show himself to be a CLEAR pro...
