More about me

I have been vegetarian for most of my life, although I do enjoy seafood occasionally. Animals have always brought a lot of joy and meaning to my life. I grew up in Connecticut and lived out West briefly. At this point, I have lived most of my life in the country in a small New Hampshire town. I support myself as a writer and training developer for computer software and hardware products. What else? I believe in laughter above all. I love to read and I love movies (mostly independents), although I haven't seen many this year. I love many types of music. Brass and percussion have a special appeal. I am a hopeless romantic. I am spiritual but not religious. I look forward to what's next in life.
