Music, Movies, and Books

Cookbooks, narrative non-fiction, long novels, short poems. Blues, country, and anything people throw my way. I know nothing about movies. But I like them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a mean vinaigrette and a decent fruit pie, the Arabic alphabet, and a vague history of the U.S. Constitution. I want to learn to sew dresses from patterns, to crochet, to build things out of wood, to weld, to build a bike, to change the oil in a car.
