Staying in
shape is a constant challenge in my life. While I do enjoy getting out and
working out, I have so many other I like doing more than make myself sore.
However I balance out the fact that I like to eat so much by running. During
the last five or six years, I have set and met my goal of running a marathon
each year. In 2007, I had one of the funnest running experiences ever; running
the New York Marathon.
Biking
I've been into
biking a long time, as you can see from this picture taken around 1978. I
have to say I wish I had more time to dedicate to biking. A good biking working
takes more time than the running and since time is often a factor, I don't
get out riding all that much.
Cooking
I Can't find a great picture of my cooking. My cooking is all about taste!
Maybe that's why I like deserts. I just joined a CSA (community supported
agriculture) farm, so every week I split up a bunch of vegtables with a co-worker.
I have learned a lot about cooking vegtables. But my favorite is still desserts.
The recipe everyone always asks about is my jar
cookie recipe. A more recent discovery is chocolate cake with
peanut butter frosting.
Being a geek
Yes I am a geek and I admit it.
In my free time I like to game online. The orc (short green guy) chilling
in the middle of this photo is my player. In addition to my gameplay, I have
a good basic knowldege of computer hardware and standard software. It does
take a bit of my time to stay on top of the new trends in computers and technology,
but my friends know I like new 'toys'.
