I'm just a Haiku Cowboy who likes Austen, Ashbury, and those hilarious captions that grace The Economist's pictures. I prefer Boggle and its rumble of wooden cubes over the lengthy pauses of Scrabble or the solitary Zen of Sudoku. And I adore non-sequiturs. And aphorisms. And salsa, in all interpretations. Flaws include a pair of flat feet courtesy of Grandpa Gellman, a tenor voice rusted after much high school jazz choir abuse, and a Buddhist nun with an unseemly attachment to stuff who owns my illegal West Village sublet.

An eclectic lass with fingernails that shine like justice. A foodie who treasures friends more than things. Someone who garnishes conversations with tactful honesty sauteed in an Oscar Wilde reduction. If you laugh at deft Onion journalism or consider yourself brainy but never shy away from Central Park romps, we'll get along fine. I like folks who paddle into risk or pen in Sunday's crossword puzzle because pencil tends to slip on the New York Times' paper.
