CURRENT MISSION

No short term mission at the moment, sadly work along with LA traffic and poor US vacation allotments consumes too much time to have much free time to travel.

ABOUT ME

I like Museums, Bars, Parks, Beaches, Outdoors, Architecture, Gardening, House Remodeling Projects, Cooking, Baking, Backpacking & Hiking.

Love trying new restaurants and trying new recipes.
I like iced tea, coffee, amari, breads, cheeses, olives, pickled ginger, ice cream, and lime on almost everything.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life whether it is being hectic or relaxed and quiet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Remember being able to walk along the creeks or mountain trails in between & across the US/Mexico border while I was in grade school. Now the creeks are dammed, the trees have since died, garbage from people being smuggled, drub addicted robbers, and recycled metal fences are the panorama ...i still remember the days when there was no wall just a road, and you could follow a creek to waterfalls, and pools surrounded by wild berries, celery, and watercress ..and it felt safe for an 8 yo.
