CURRENT MISSION

I am here to learn and give...hopefully something useful.

ABOUT ME

I'm readjusting to life in America after spending 2009-2012 in Europe and the Levant. After my Peace Corps service in Romania, I hitch hiked throughout the rest of the continent with my friend-turned-husband Paul Morphis. You'd think we'd settle down after stepping onto the Reykjavik-Boston flight, but we continue to travel as musicians. Well, it's mainly Paul's show. pauldmorphisomb.blogspot.com.

PHILOSOPHY

An unexamined life is not worth living, but sometimes one needs to take coffee breaks.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

My old boss taught how to drive a tractor by giving me the following assignment: 1. Pick up the water buffalo head with the bucket implement. 2. Drive the head and my boss to the oxbow lake. 3. Lift my boss with the bucket so that he can hang the head in a tree for the birds to pick at. He gave me a high five.
