I am a hospice nurse, a health data analyst, a computer geek, a Linux evangelist, a native Texan, a New Yorker, a Nipponophile, a guitarist, a photographer, a cook, a buddha-dharma student, a web designer, a NCAA men's college basketball fan, a wine geek, a writer, a slow food advocate, a bariatric surgery patient, and an educator.  There are probably additional self-congratulatory adjectives I could use to influence your concept of who I am, but why add to the confusion?
