Don't be yourself. Be someone a little nicer.

About Me

"Not that I want to be a god or a hero. Just to change into a tree, grow for ages, not hurt anyone."-Czeslaw Milosz ... I love living in sonoma county but like most with ties to a city, I get this dehiscent longing to break out of my shell and spend some time in an urban environment

My Interests

cycling, swimming, yoga, wine, language, films, cookbooks, civics,...shooting with my twin lens & digital
Art pen and ink drawings,miniature mobiles,digital photography, jewlery

I'd like to meet:

people who ride bicycles, and someone who likes these quotes: "It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting." Tom Stoppard, Jumpers (1972) act 1-----------------------------"To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." -Abraham Lincoln----------------------------------History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure. -Thurgood Marshall, US Supreme Court Justice (1908-1993)----------------------------------A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil, that good may come of it. -William Penn, Quaker, founder of Pennsylvania (1644-1718

Books:

right now: read the last potter, the huffington report, about 5 cookbooks and a bunch of books regarding wine.

Heroes:

dolly parton, my parents
