I am a pragmatist. Not optimistic nor pessimistic. I just really try to be in the real. I am a generally happy person. I love what I do. I am a statistician and see patterns in data. I also like sci-fi that makes you think and watching thought provoking films in general. In my opinion, British comedy is so much better than American but everyone is entitled to their own tastes. Such fun! I like to read and love the theatre. I love cycling and am getting into rowing albeit indoors. I also like to do things with my hands because my day job is so much work in my head. I have some really great friends and fabulous kids but it is always nice to meet new people. I am left of liberal and have a public health background. I like to be challenged to learn new things and can update my beliefs with new information. But, I really want to see the data.
