Hmmmm. Aside from walking the dog around the block, I guess I have been to a few places. One of my favorite and most poignant travel stories is the one to the Yucatan. Although many years ago, the images are very vivid and the memories permanent. The result was changing my life path from Geology to Social Work and naming our daughter Maya. I travel alot on my job working with Cambridge College - mostly to conference around the country. I love Canada and prefer being in places where I am not struggling trying to communicate when I do not know the language (which is most places on Earth given my high school French does not quite do it.) I just came back from Alexandria, Egypt where I went to present at a global conference on youth employment and social entrepreneurship. Sorry, no interesting stories of sphinx riding or climbing up pyramids. The air conditioning broke down.....somewhat interesting.

What to tell.......I have a great and striving family, and one which is surviving in this stressful age. Adina, Maya, Jonah and cockerpoo, Callie. Orginially from New York, but came up to Somerville (somewhat reluctantly as I wanted to live under the wet skies of Seattle) in 1982. My passion is developing communities and have been working in the field of linking education with community for over 20 years. I am currently the director of the Institute for Lifelong Learning and Community Building of Cambridge College - developing educational programs for residents and workers who are not matriculate in college.

My most recent interest is working with others over 50, to create innovative educational experiences for work and personal interests. Beyond work (is there something beyond?) I love to be out in nature, reading when there is time, and cooking, when I can get hold of interesting recipes - not too spicy. I remember a time when I went to plays frequently, but this was when they were affordable. Movies are great as well, but these days, it is heading off to Blockbuster on a sleepy Friday, rather than the theater. Putting the feet up and watching a good thriller is my cup of tea.
