CURRENT MISSION

Make my way through the thorns, to the stars.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to do my best and be a good person.

Interests

Food (eating it, cooking it, smelling it, looking at it, reading about it, talking about it, thinking about it), national public radio, novels, the history of the New York Metropolitan Area, art (particularly painting and folk art), crafting, music, dancing and having relaxed good times as well as wild crazy fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love American fiction (Steinbeck, Cather, Capote and Hemingway are favorite authors), and 20th century poetry (most notably that of T.S. Eliot). Almodovar, Woody Allen and Wes Anderson are my favorite directors, and Manhattan is probably my favorite movie.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach anyone to cook and/or knit, and I would love to talk to anyone who will listen about contemporary genre painting.
