About me

I've recently moved from the frozen North to the sodden Northwest. At least I still have a cat named Sunny! My daughter and I write while perched in trees with spotted owls. I find new inspiration in mud puddles.

Briefly me

My passion is ...

the inner life of moss

I know too much about ...

the contents of my cat's stomach

My parents always told me ...

marry rich

My childhood ambition ...

was to play baseball

My favorite memory ...

is a house surrounded by alley cats

Why I write ...

is because I am socially retarded

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

is biographies of the eccentric, old French movies, early Bob Dylan

My first job ...

was a feeder at a nursing home

My best moment ...

is whenever I find the right words

My inspiration ...

my parents, daughter, and deceased guinea pig

Walk into bars

without you

Potato chip breath men ...
