wow - i love these blank, open-ended questions/essays where one can blather on about their likes/dislikes, etc. Well, here goes mine. I try to keep it simple. There is so much in life from which to choose and I am hopeful that I make choices that are fulfilling and enjoyable. As I read this I am thinking that I probably wouldn't have thought/written this 10 years ago (we evolve do we not). Anyway, I love competition (sports, games, etc.) and I love winning - though I do not gloat and I am not a braggart and I suffer loss (albeit infrequently) like a true sportsman, with respect for my opponents, my teammates and for the sport. I love having fun - anything that can put a smile on my face: joking with friends, playing with my kids (yes, i have two little girls who are absolutely hysterical, whom I absolutely love), watching other people be goofy and being goofy myself. I really enjoy people that bring a certain something to the table (Je ne sai quoi): people who are passionate about what that they do in life, who are achievement oriented, and who have a curiosity and desire explore this big old world of ours and beyond. Okay - i've lost patience with this......you can always ask me.
