I’m a bit of an adventurer and observer. I like to try things and make discoveries. I’ll take a street to see where it leads. I enjoy the experience of public transportation. I dabble in hobbies: poetry, bird watching, chess, houseplants, cooking, bicycling, genealogy, guitar, thrifting, etc. Recently I’ve taken up skateboarding. I like music and the movies and comic books. I like to read and write. I follow sports: baseball, basketball, soccer. I enjoy making conversation, learning about others, discussing big ideas and feelings and having a good laugh. I try to be kind to myself and others.
