Introduction Text The bad: Stubborn, scientific cynic, with a choose your choice wheel of moods and decisions. I follow Emerson's philosophy and think that consistency can be foolish... speak what you speak now with full passion, even though tomorrow you may be 180 degrees different. I adhere to the evidence- not anecdotes or belief or personal experiences. The good: Understanding, supportive, and compassionate. I'm stubborn and cynical-- but I reserve those states of being for me, myself and I. I try to approach all sparkrelationships with a sense of curiosity and understanding. The dirt: Atheist. Plant-based. I aim for vegan no oil 95% of the time. I succeed 95% of the time. Married, one human child from Summer 2014. 2 good dogs, one bad cat. I gained a bunch of weight from the pregnancy, but was overweight before that. I hope to lose the baby weight and then some. My spark-iquette is as follows: I love comments. I will comment on your blog, and I will be honest but kind or at least civil. I'm wordy, but I don't expect you to be for me. When I receive comments, I love them. I read them carefully and savor each word. I am not an "I love you too" person. Each comment I get, each sparkgoodie, is cherished, but I do not immediately respond with a comment or sparkgoodie in return. I want this journey to be cumulative and growing and real and appreciated-- so when I give a goodie, it's because there is something specific that I want to do for the recipient, be it encouragement, celebration, sympathy, or just plain goofiness. Same thing for comments. "I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it. I don't preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do." ~Daniel Radcliffe

Lose weight. Feel better about myself. View myself through a lens of realism and understanding.

Plant-based diet. Treadmill/ walking 90 minutes a day 5 days a week. or swimming. or biking. whatever. Trying to drink more water than beer, soda and coffee. BLC 33 Challenge Goals: WFBBNO 5 days a week, WFPB 6 days a week, one vegan junk day per week. Walking 30 minutes a day 5 days a week.

I read books, lots of 'em. If I could find a way to make books a fitness program I would be a godd@mned olympic athelete. OTOH, if books became a form of nourishment, I would be long dead from obesity related diseases.

Bad movie lover. I dabble in all the things: ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, knitting, hiking, biking, swimming, traveling, pho-connoisseur, piano-clarinet-bassoon-guitar playing. I am teaching myself the banjo right now. I like naughty, raunchy, and poor taste humor.
