CURRENT MISSION To live a happy life and share the joy with others. ABOUT ME I am a map maker by inclination and by profession. Mostly, I help in disaster response and recovery efforts, but I also work independently on projects which follow my interests (architecture, railroads, history, particularly California and the western United States). Kimi is a critical care nurse, artist, loves to cook and entertain, bird and nature lover. Generous with smiles and laughter and interested in the world and all the wonderful people who inhabit it. We both are experienced conversationalists and enjoy conversing immensely. We like hanging out with people and do so often. We can be funny, but we are not jokesters (sometimes pranksters though). We delight in expanding our network of friends. PHILOSOPHY Everybody deserves to eat, sleep, be sheltered and loved. I am in the process of learning how to forgive and be forgiven as well as what my responsibilities are regarding giving back for all that has been given me. We hope to open our home and hearts to those who wander our way, to be equally open to giving and receiving all that we can as good citizens of the planet!
