: About Me

Writer and explorer when I'm not busy being ordinary.

My passion is ...

Words, art, water, gardens, new people and places.

I know too much about ...

Numbers, rules, procrastination, cooking.

My parents always told me ...

Act like a lady- I still forget sometimes. I'm usually glad when I do.

My childhood ambition ...

Mommy, artist, lawyer. I've done 1.5 out of 3. Not bad.

My favorite memory ...

Making 2 beautiful babies then watching them grow into beautiful grown-ups.

Why I write ...

An outlet, to remember. Because a growly bear encouraged me to. Anche quando distante, li tengo nel mio cuore, bello.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

John Irving, Hunter S, Fab Ricciardi, Irving Layton, Charles Bukowski, J. Gavin Heck (my talented big little bro)... Tarantino, Disney, Hockey, Football, PBS, COPS, Zack & Miri make a Porno.... Frank, Sade, REM, Al Greene.

My first job ...

Bussing tables at Ponderosa.

My best moment ...

Falling in love.

My inspiration ...

The best and the hardest parts of life. Friends and family. Nature.
