Places I've been

Grew up in Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio. Moved "North to the Future" in 1980. Still there. Been through much of the lower 48, and southern Europe and chunks of Canada. I LOVE the South of France. There's nothing funny about making fun of the French. Two coast lines, the best farmland in Europe, secularism and old cathedrals for touring, a month off in August, health care for all and everyone's happy. So who are the stooges?

Work

• The Governement, Enlightenmentor - 2010 to 2011

More about me

I'm under construction. Carp Diem is my mantra. I want to do it all within my talents and resources. Life is too short to indulge in anger and sloth. I enjoy taking certain calculated risks. I'm a bit of a daredevil. I love meaty discussions in philosophy, logic, science, (I have a weakness for lay quantum physics), social economics, and the number 42. I grew up at the airport and feel at home in a hot air balloon. I'm a derby girl. I'll play jammer. My first bout is in August.

My summer bucket list includes the following:

to make a stop motion music video using river rocks and nature to do more traveling/road trips
to do more hiking
to begin learning conversational Spanish
to buy a ukulele
to think about the day I will master tribal belly dancing
to become more politically active
to volunteer more
to score in my first roller derby bout

to eat good food

to make new friends and stay in touch with all the old

I'm running out of time

 

I like music from the Mumford Brothers to Ska, Jim Croce to Lincoln Park, Yo-YO Ma, old timey, bluegrass, classic rock, classical and opera: Madame Butterfly, Carmen, and Rachmoninoff all turn me on. I love listening to live music best. The more primative the better, like a bluegrass jam on an old wrap around porch in the middle of the county after a rainstorm in the evening- one of my FAVORITE memories, or listening to my dad play organ inside while sitting on the porch with friends and family on a hot summer evening when I was growing up

 

Currently I'm smitten with Zaz, a french artist. I have two songs on repeat which I can listen to for hours, and have already. I'd post here if I could find the right player 

Activities

Once upon a time I was a hot air balloonist and student pilot, an unpublished writer, a philosopher, an inventor, a tinker-er in electronics, and having interests in economics, history , the cosmos and biology and living off-grid. Back then I also had the desire to be a wing walker in air shows, though that never got off the ground. But I once went barn storming, barrel rolling, and played in 0 gravity in an old T-6 Currently I enjoy hiking, driving an open Alaskan highway, reading, writing, skating, snow shoeing, x-country skiing, canoeing, berry picking, people with autism, (I LOVE people on the spectrum, I'm like a puppy and they are the treat hidden away in the puppy puzzle toy, drawing, poetry, NPR World Cafe, (Friday night decadence), evening walks, sculpture

...Life is fragile, ALL of it, including the spiders
