ABOUT ME

Low maintenance. I'm very helpful, even handy. I love all sorts of work; have delivered produce, taught music, worked on archaeological digs, worked in gardens, done carpentry and currently make maps for a CRM firm, a nature preserve, a bike shop... I'm into archaeology, and I'm into urban gardening and historic preservation. I feel local, and love finding places and getting to know them. I can entertain, and am easily entertained.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd rather take the long way than be stuck in traffic.
