Hanging out with friends, seeing live music, baking banana nut bread and fruit crisps, hiking, going to the ocean, taking creative pictures when the mood strikes, knitting badly and feeling frustrated and putting it down for a few months, reading a lot, mostly crap sprinkled with old and modern classics, shopping for shoes, drinking strong coffee in the morning, getting a beer at my local pub, swimming in the Eel River.
Mostly I am here to reconnect with old friends, but I am happy to make new ones...make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.

Roberta Drager Berkson. Apparently my mom was a real bad ass when she lived in SouthEast Asia in the 1970's, busting out a pistol in the face of danger.
