    • History

    Places I've been
    Upstate New York (Hometown), Dubrovnik, in the former Republic of Yugoslavia, is the only truly magical place I've ever been. Some day I will rent a flat there in the medieval walled city, spending my days sipping espresso in streetside cafes. When I do, it will be as far from my east cost industrial origins as possible! For now, however, I'm enjoying life in the middle of Washington wine country, on the Columbia River. Pit stops in my life have included St. Louis, Kansas City, Clearwater Fla., Idaho Falls, and others. During an early career in the travel industry, I traveled to England, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Singapore, Switzerland, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, Puerto Rico, and -- of course -- Yugoslavia.

    About Me

    "In three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on."  (Robert Frost)

    I HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT:  

    1) A healthy woman needs four things: A good man, a well-stocked wine cellar, the number of a highly skilled plastic surgeon, and an excellent shrink.

    2) Compassion, reasoning, art, and religious thought are the only exclusively human endeavors.  These should be passionately pursued. 

     3) Getting dressed ought to be the first artistic endeavor of the day.

    4) The perfect relationship between a man and a woman is a semi-colon; it relates two independent clauses without a conjunction.

    5) Some women truly are born without a sense of direction, time, or distance (or the ability to do Algebra).  We give the ones who weren't a bad rep.

    6) Um...make that five things...she also needs a great pair of black pumps.

    7) Thomas Paine really got a raw deal.

     

    Interests & Activities

    Activities
    1) SKIING -- I'm learning how to handle deep powder. 2) SAILING -- Is there anything more elegant? 3) BOOKBINDING - A unique skill. 4) HISTORY -- a good history book is always next to my futon. 5) JAZZ -- A very hip soundtrack to life. (I sing and I'm currently trying to get a jazz duo together...) 6) PHOTOGRAPHY (some samples are included in my profile photos) 7) ART -- I adore the work of the New York school of Abstract Expressionists...
    Favorite Charities
    I support a small school in Bangladesh and various social justice causes.
    Favorite Music
    JAZZ -- Diana Krall, Medeski Martin & Woods, Steven Santoro. (Check out Herbie Hancock's "River - The Joni Letters." Awesome!) OTHER STUFF - Mark Isham, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lupe Fiasco, James Newton Howard, Joni Mitchell, and some classic rock...funk fusion...classic blues...etc.
    Favorite TV Shows
    TOP GEAR and PROJECT RUNWAY (No longer HELL'S KITCHEN!) are my guilty pleasures. But, I don't really watch much TV. (I've never seen a single episode of "House"! Shocking, I know!)
    Favorite Movies
    The one I just saw - whatever it was.
    Favorite Books
    1) History 2) "Dusty" Literature (Great Russian novelists, etc.) 3) Occasionally, good popular fiction.

    Favorite Places
    1)Dubrovnik 2)Anywhere on a sailboat 3)Anywhere on skis 4)In the company of my son, daughter, or lover.
    Favorite Animals
    I guess I'd say ospreys because they have a seasonal nest near my marina. I like to watch them raise their young birds. However, growing up as a city girl, my lifestyle isn't very amenable to pets, so I don't have any.

      …How delightful, a thoroughly bohemian personality, you would fit perfectly in a 50’s coffeehouse environment, smart, abstract, glamorous, and sure of herself! Enjoyed your profile. Refreshing!
      Reminiscent of a young Stockard Channing!

      By the by…I applaud your taste in music! Great Stuff!
