We all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun... John Lennon

About Me


I’m addicted to flavored coffee creamers, affection and camel lights. I awake each morning to tiny little meows and the aroma of strong coffee.

I live 10 minutes from the Atlantic and 10 dreams from the Pacific. I long to be in L.A. with my sister, I miss her terribly. www.myspace.com/MovingPictureShow Her brilliance still amazes me after 31 years.

I enjoy...
Music-nearly all of it; practicing guitar; playing drums; playing sax; writinging my newspaper articles- writing anything; bad photography; afternoon naps; autumn weather; drives that go nowhere; foo-foo drinks; all animals, bunnies to butterflies ~ turtles to tarantulas; strong coffee; abstract art; spooning; sushi; 80's pop; dancing; silly photo collages.

I believe...
in 'do unto others'; in more than a two party system; in meaningful conversations with animals; that hard work pays off; that yellow means slow down; and I believe in love.
