About Me

I love: laughing at my own jokes, witty puns, live music, books, Kelly Collins' amazing paintings, soft grass, organic farms, radio shows, hand-crafted stuff, motocycle mamas, re-use, learning, dreams, relaxing, eating good food, trees, obsessing, theme parties, our house at its peak of communal coolness, kitties, singing, self-sufficience, my family and buds ...............I despise: things said "just for the sake of conversation"; partially-hydrogenated oil; plastic; the current Administration; tax cuts for gargantuan, corrupt, money-hoarding, neocon-run corporations; traffic; wastefulness; ignorance; pushy proselytizing religious fanatics; making solid plans; admitting I'm wrong
