CURRENT MISSION

We seek to make a better world while enjoying it.

ABOUT ME

* Welcome *

We're Jewish, American, progressive, vegan-leaning vegetarian, eco-conscious, non-smoking, non-drug using, friendly, informal, intellectual, educated, atheist, playful, curious, and we love taking walks in our beautiful city and elsewhere.

We have lots of tea, but no coffee.

We try to be considerate and respectful of others and appreciate when others are considerate and respectful as well. It makes the world a better place to live.

We appreciate timeliness: we like to be on time and we expect others to be on time, too. If you are delayed or plans change, please let us know; we'll do the same.

We like cleanliness, but there will be some dust balls roaming around.

Musica, film e libri

We especially like classic rock. And we read a lot.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

We've seen and done so many amazing things. When we're open to it, we can even find amazement in the mundane. That said, seeing the sun rise over the Taj Mahal was really cool.

Insegna, impara, condividi

We can talk and teach about sociology, politics, law, history, knitting, writing, education, dinosaurs and other animals, food, vegetarianism/veganism, climate change, environment, activism, Judaism, America, San Francisco, music, philosophy, spirituality, relationships, Thailand (especially Chiang Mai) and Laos, traveling, spirituality, chess, Scrabble, Boggle, words, haiku, happiness, and much more!

We'd like to learn more about other people, cultures, countries, languages, possibilities, wild projects, dreams, and lots more.

We're very passionate, very inquisitive, and very opinionated.
