Rock n' roll, architecture/architectural history, burlesque, go-go and sewing. Playing with my Dora and Porter. Remodeling my house. Watching my garden grow.
Ira Glass and Garrison Kiellor. This is probably a dead giveaway that I'm one of those NPR people. I have thus far managed to avoid wearing turtlenecks though.

Dogs are my heroes.
