My Profile

about me
I spent years in SF before I tried to use my oven only to discover it did not work. Aghast by the shocking revelation, I had the oven replaced and took cooking classes at Tante Marie last Spring. The classes were great, and I swore I'd start cooking at home. I made one batch of butternut squash soup, called it a victory and have not made a thing since.


I love my morning coffee, the Sunday NY Times, a great hike, a $15 mani/pedi, listening to the blues, a refreshing mojito and taking off for months at a time to travel.


I am not so fond of trying to find parking in the city, flossing, reading instruction manuals (this does not always bode well), unpacking or dealing with Pacific Bell.
