About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

I love flavor. Whether it's in the food I cook, the people I'm around, the music I dance to, or the places I find myself, flavor is always right THERE. I like to think that my love affair with flavor is mutual and not unrequited. I could be just delusional about that, though. Maybe the things that happen around me are a clue as to what's what:
One moment I might be going undercover at a folk art show (I'm still laughing about the guy who did the somersault and landed with his mouth around my big toe),in another dancing on stage at a rock concert in Argentina (now, that is freaking FUN! Afterall, why be the crazy chick dancing up front when you can be the crazy chick dancing on stage?), then I might be on my porch drinking Pisco Sours and playing dominoes (care to make a small wager?), you might see me on the news (been there, done that a few times) or on MTV Latino (yep, that was me in that "spot"), .. and then you might find me chanting "Om Mani Padme Hum" with a group of tibetan monks... all in a day's work..or play.. or...
Buenos Aires is one of my favorite places... filled with Music, Art, Great Food, and Amazing People...:


I can't live without music, art or books.. but, you can keep your sports and violence all to yourself thank you very much.
Ha... this is:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves music or makes music with love, explorers, wanderers, gypsies (but, no tramps or thieves), aliens with no ulterior motives, those who can and will, warriors of art, magicians, and warm, furry beings.

Dear Person Who Dumped Out The Sick Cat

I found your cat feebly trying to make his way across the street. Maybe he was hoping to get home. Maybe he was hoping for some protection. Whatever he was hoping was lost in his inability to make it ...

Meet the Puss-a-Pillar

I walked out into my front yard the other day to find this alien life-form suctioned onto my carambola tree.  At first I thought, "that's freaking weird".  Then I thought about it some more ...

Germophobics Anonymous

After reading far too many posts on a national "foodies" board from people who've made it one of their life's phobias to avoid germs, viruses, and the great unwashed "dirty", I have this to say:I'm pr...

Sirens Along the Winding Road to Bariloche

I Left My Appendix in El Bolson (and other reasons why I have been MIA for 10 days)

The, "this is really not going to be good" moment snuck up on me during the night in El Bolson.  The sharp pangs that I first attributed to a bad meal proved themselves superior to such a minor c...
