I am a fun-loving, pop culture-referencing brainy geek at heart who is a HUGE football and hockey fan, and I find fascination in almost everything I see (read: I'm easily entertained :P). I love to hike, camp and ski and it is my intention to see as much of this planet as I can before I finally leave it. Tom Robbins is my favorite author and Dave Matthews would be my God if that weren't idolatry. I had a revelatory experience reading "Memoir From Antproof Case" by Mark Helprin and a cultural awakening watching Catherine Zeta-Jones play Velma Kelly in "Chicago". I spend a decent amount of time playing chess--where I have perfected the art of the stalemate--and my fantasy football team will kick your fantasy football team's arse any day :) Oh, and I'm a graceful klutz (ask me about my freak jogging accident...)
