What's important for you to know about me?

I value simplicity, but often gravitate toward complexity.
A full life, I think, is about recognizing and finding balance between the two--the simple joys of laughter, music, good food & drink; the complexity of striving to understand the world and live in it conscientiously.

Among my (various) favorites: Leonard Cohen (music), On Beauty, Fall On Your Knees (fiction), Dexter (tv), Green & Black's (chocolate), Lars & the Real girl, Stranger Than Fiction, Amores Perros (film)

A few things I love about Toronto:
Being able to bike (almost) everywhere important; Kensington coffee & grocery shopping; Ward's Island; knowing there is so much more to discover...

What I'm excited about at the moment: Hanging out in the sunshine with friends; planning a long overdue trip to NYC; getting the use of my deck again for gardening and lounging; working on my (beginner) tennis game; drinking summertime mojitos made with fresh mint...
