When the crowd in Life of Brian roars "We're all different!", I'm the one who responds "I'm not". Friends sometimes wonder what planet I'm from (I'm obviously part Vulcan).

I'm more interested in cuddling than in s--.

I avoid crowds (especially in noisy rooms - something about the way my attention works deters me from thinking well in these conditions), and prefer small group activities such as a hike with the SF Hiking Club (especially trips where I might see wildflower species that I haven't identified yet), or a card game or board game such as Powergrid, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, bridge, or spades.

I typically do hikes in the 8-20 mile range. My favorite trails when the wildflowers are out have mixtures of meadows and trees, such as in Henry Coe or near Murietta Falls.

If I retire, I hope to visit the far edge party, but I'll probably leave before it gets crowded enough to risk forming black holes.
