About Me

I've lived in southern California most of my life. I was an ER and OR RN .... don't do that any more. I now teach piano and gig whenever I can. I'm into jazz, and that's mostly what I play. I have 3 Standard Poodles Layla, Hope and Binky.I'm a liberal politically speaking. I am a proud Edwards Democrat working tirelessly for healthcare reform via singl payer. The quote in my headline is one by Fredrich Nietzche.I treasure all the frienships I've been fortunate enough to experience in my lifetime. I value intelligence,compassion, loyalty and people who are open and honest - even when it's a bit uncomfortable to be so.
