Music, Movies, and Books

I watch Grey's Anatomy and Big Bang Theory, but pretend I don't really watch TV. Music? Generally the downbeat indie kind, e.g. Alva Leigh, Katie Herzig, Ingrid Michaelson. I could be open to more types of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have bicycled across the US with amazing friends and was reinforced in my faith of humanity by all the friendly and generous people we met on the way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn to be a better gardener. I can teach you Swahili!
