More about me

I'm a child of the sixties and proud of it, though I owe a lot to every decade since then and have been dragging myself, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century (yes, you sense a bit of paranoia). A really important part of my life was the modern dancing I did in New York City during my 20s. It gave as much back to me as I  gave to it, and I'll always be thankful I did it. The big downside was that I found myself at 32 doing what most people question at 19 or 20: What was I going to do with the rest of my life? I ended up going from wordless to words, and landed in a variety of editorial jobs.
