I try to appreciate the little things in life: Kool and the
Gang, chocolate soy milk, old Volvos, and red Converse
sneakers. I also enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, eating stroopwafel, and dancing! I have a very sunny disposition have no shame when it comes to being really cheesy.

I am currently a fellow at Hillel's international office in DC. Now that the March for Women's Lives is over I will return to the exciting life I lead before 1.15 million people showed up on the mall to support reproductive freedom...this includes lots of sleeping, wearing legwarmers from amsterdam, taking tap and wheel-thrown pottery classes, doing yoga, and being a connoisseur of liberal happy hours in the DC metro area ...

Bob Dylan, Martha Stewart, Joni Mitchell, my great grandmother (Pearl Gordon), Julia Child (""Mrs. Child was a breast cancer survivor, a cat lover, a fervent advocate of Planned Parenthood and an unabashed sensualist with a sly sense of humor." "Julia Child...Dies at 91," The New York Times, August 14, 2004), Paul and Sheila Wellstone ("There has to be some connection between the convictions we profess and the budgets we propose, or the chasm between our words and our actions becomes too wide. If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them."), Bill and Hillary Clinton, Emile Zola ("If you asked me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud."), Gaston Lachaise, and anyone who likes stroopwafel as much as me...
