More. Sorry. When I'm not wearing my superhero costume and saving babies from burning buildings, then I'm likely doing improv comedy, listening to NPR, being a shutterbug (serious camera-addiction) reading (Times, New Yorker) or just veggin' with my pup. I'm a New York Times and New Yorker addict. I feel bad about not donating more to NPR, even though I listen non-stop. I think Maureen Dowd is a little pompous. Paul Krugman's columns sadden me. I worship the ground Ira Glass walks on. I'm filled with an insane amount of curiosity about everything and anything. I get fascinated... I read and talk and turn things over and delight more than anything else in the company of crazy, brilliant friends. I have a chocolate lab, whom I adore. She doesn't tail-wag. She body-wags. Seriously. I've lived in a myriad of different places -- Budapest, Indiana, San Francisco, Seattle, New Hampshire -- learned a thing or two about a thing or two, and it has given me perspective. I hope. You should get to know me because I can occasionally be wise and occasionally a goofball. That makes me a wise goofball, I guess. I'm often sarcastic. I promise to deliver a decent laugh to groan ratio. Your mileage may vary... If you think Chris Rock, Luis C.K. and Eddie Izzard are amazing, we'll get along just fine.... oh, and one last thing, but don't laugh... I like ping-pong. A lot. So there. I am witty, infinitely curious and warm.
I played in a US Open in Ping Pong while in high school.
Fourth-generation San Franciscan moved to DC to launch a journalism career after college, then ping-ponged between coasts following better stories: to Silicon Valley, Boston, New York. Inspired by many of the amazing people I interviewed, I moved back to SF (hopefully for good!) and switched careers. Now I work for the same employer as one of my best friends, who introduces me to coworkers and social circles as "the happiest person you'll ever meet." One of the things that makes me most happy is swing dancing. Doing something new, out of the ordinary, or just a bit quirky is sure to make smile non-stop, too.
