Camping out in the desert above Moab, Utah; trekking in Tibet; the love of my friends & family

More than anything, I love conversation -- the chance to better understand how other people live, what they do, and perhaps most importantly, how they approach the challenges of living a good, meaningful life. I also like less serious things, like the outdoors (though I take it seriously), tennis, 1990s romantic comedies, poodles, and shooting the breeze in Mandarin Chinese.
