Leader 2 Leader, Brown School PTA, TerraPass, Simmons SOM Alumni Association, Year of the Rat/Sagittarian: with all of the glory and despair that that entails, Dyed in the wool democrat (and all of the glory and despair that that entails) and apparently a member of the J.M. Keynes fan club. I didn't realize this until I was labelled by my professor.

Reading voraciously, film, eating and drinking with friends, community service, bowling, billiards, painting my bathroom, hosting parties in my home, organizing gatherings of one nature or another, playing House-Rules Monopoly (takes only 15 minutes!)

Yes, all the ones your English teacher forced you to read in 11th & 12th grades. But also: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night, The Sparrow, and I read a lot of Real Simple Magazines...

Volver, Everything is Illuminated, Spanglish, The Loved Ones, Amelie, The Third Man, The Seven Samurai, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Rashomon, Rushmore, The Matador.

Just bought Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Fab!

Still don't watch TV. Still haven't ever seen all of those Friends episodes everyone talks about, or those Seinfeld ones either. Am I the only one on the planet?

Sagittarius

Work: Data-based, analytical; transforming service into influence, dangit!
Past-time: Kicking rears and taking names in Gin Rummy. I'm the meanest, the baddest, the most strategic. (Still don't know how to play poker, but we're working on it.) Also: working up a serious Sudoku addiction...it's a long train ride to MIT.
Laundry: Ask me about my stackable washer dryer. Yeah, that negotiations class ROCKED!
Household: 3 humans, one feline, multiple plants of various species
Preferred 2008 Ticket: Clinton/Edwards STILL!
Preferred 2000 Revisionist Daydream: Gore wins! (sigh)
Canine Update: Examining the possibility of a Leonsburger (they are huge but very sweet)
Marital Status Update: 12/31/08 Can you dig it?
Favorite Vacation Spot: Future In-Law's back porch in summer, avec beer; see also, Kayaking in bay
The more things change: I can't drink the way I used to...
The more they stay the same: I still love G.B.Shaw, Dickens, and Faulkner

Friends who have a sense of humor and don't mind being silly sometimes.
People who own dogs and love good cheese.
Women who love red wine and good books.
Smart people.
People who challenge me to think on a higher level and force me to justify my personal paradigms.
Folks who aren't afraid of change, even if it would challenge their personal paradigms.
Other single parents who understand the CRUSHING responsibility.
Warm hearts, big smiles, big eaters, small statures, large frames, long teeth, and especially people who have learned enough about the world and their place in it to realize that they are very small but still hope very big.
