I have always loved great conversation with new and interesting people. I understand if that is not your jam and am content to sit in companionable silence people watching or cloud watching.

I am regularly trip over my own feet and struggle to walk in a straight line. I enjoy biking. I love to eat and cook good food. The first question I as every morning is what do I want to have for dinner.

I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. My current adventure is in Billings, Montana working with at-risk families.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a wide range of random useful and wacky knowledge. I know how to make lanyards and how to sew a button. I know how to tie a sari and how to make chocolate chip cookies in a microwave. I know how to fix a flat bike tire and how to cut an onion without crying.

I want to learn anything anyone is willing to teach me. In particular, I would like to learn how to replace a car tire and how to bone a fish.
