I am here for Friends

About Me

Not ignoring what is good, I am quick to perceive a horror, and could still be social with it - would they let me - since it is but well to be on friendly terms with all the inmates of the place one lodges in. -Moby Dick

My Interests

My dogs Frank and Beans, Tv, Yoga, Cooking, Quilting, dive bars, cheap red wine, strong coffee, lakes and oceans, costume jewelry, reading myself to sleep, old houses, cold rooms, celebrity pop culture (waning), huge trees, pretty clothes, Hult (getting married 5/25 but I refuse to use the word fiance). dammit.
