CURRENT MISSION

Goodbye Virginia, hello everywhere!

ABOUT ME

I love good stories, all kinds of animals (especially friendly pets), historical places, fibers, and random useless facts. In my free time I like to read, watch movies, go for strolls, drink coffee, and when I'm back at home base spend inordinate amounts of time snuggling with my two cats.

PHILOSOPHY

I like this quote by author Francois Cheng:
"Living things are never fixed or isolated. They are caught up in the universal organic transformation."

Music, Movies, and Books

I choose to read mostly fiction books outside school (gotta unwind!), but I've never turned down an intriguing non fiction tome either.  Some favorites: His Dark Materials series, science fiction books and movies,  Julia Childs My Life in France and As Always, Julia, (if only I could write letters like that!)All kinds of movies, like I said, I love a good story.I tend to listen to the same songs over and over again, but I'm always happy to be introduced to new kinds of music.
