i lost my virginity: To my then-future-ex-wife by the side of a mountain lake

most humbling moment: Yesterday

into: Telemarking (that's downhill skiing with a free heel), good beer, trees, rocks, moss, water, sex, roller derby, strong women, dancing, laughter, bicycles, big Alaskan storms, and gravity.

heroes: My dad, Glenn Plake, Jane Jacobs, Ken Kesey, Michael Franti, all feminists, Ed Abbey, Aldo Leopold, and people who work to change the system to be more people-centric.

gets me hot: Butts. And legs. And feet (especially in completely ridiculously impractical shoes). And necks and shoulders. OK, so women make me hot.

makes me happy: Powder (another snow reference), the sound of high heels on concrete, and women (their general existence is a very good thing).
