About

Well.  I just realized my “About” page didn’t say anything about me.  One of these days I’ll write myself a thoughtful, thorough and amusing bio.  This is not that day.  Instead, I’ll disgorge ten random facts:

1. Shoveling snow is my idea of fun.
2. So is writing.  There must be a connection here.
3. I don’t drive.  I prefer public transportation, walking and biking.
4. My wardrobe comes from an eclectic array of boutiques, thrift stores and trash heaps.
5. My adopted home state is Wisconsin, though I was born in California.
6. One of my kids is in the Army.
7. I like the Deftones, kumquats, sycamore trees, and books with maps in them.
8. I work in a metaphysical store–the kind of place you go for incense, psychic readings, crystals, and books by people who speak fluent Unicorn.
9. Favorite quote:   “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”  –Abraham Lincoln
10. I’m 53, female, recently widowed, almost vegan, and Scorpio.
