about me
I am a dinosaur. The Whole Earth Catalog came out in my late teens and that thing became my guide into adulthood. As a result I can weave, spin, make bread, cook vegetarian meals with complete protein combinations, sew, make quilts, garden organically, play fiddle... The dinosaur is currently webmistress for Ruric-Amari and her troupe Samovar (of course I do this with a text editor!), costumer for same (of course I do this with my treadle machine!!), Irish fiddle player, branching out into mid-eastern music. President, Mid-Eastern Dance Society of Kentuckiana (www.MEDSOK.com). Oh, my day job? Programmer. Momster.
