I love playing the viola! This is my main gig. I love learning new things and trying new things. I've traveled to four continents, have made my own cheese, recently tried playing pickleball and am always thinking of the next journey or experience. I have lots of ideas about what will be next...

I'm a freelance musician, picking up as wide a variety of fun gigs as I can. I also teach a lot of private lessons, and daily enjoy working with my amazing and sometimes hilarious students. I love volunteering and currently teach English to adult immigrants and refugees. My attempt at agriculture last summer ended with several thirsty, then dead, plants... but that probably won't stop me from trying again this year...

playing the viola, kitchen alchemy, salsa and latin dancing, dog sitting (cats are cute, but I'm allergic).

My fashion sense and my easy-going laugh

Recently read The Toaster Project, The History of the World in 100 Objects, The Latehomecomer. I love non-fiction, science and history in particular, that tells a good story, and also never get tired of Dickens.

You'll rarely find me actually watching a TV, but I have been recently enjoying watching The Vicar of Dibly on Netflix.

I love live music! Classical and Latin music are my favorites.

Viola - we spend so much time together!
Family - these people are in my corner. And vice versa. :)
A well-equipped kitchen - this is where the magic happens.
Church - a community of people and place of peace that I couldn't do without.
Public radio - it keeps me sharp!
Library - what's not great about the library?

playing a gig? Salsa dancing? At home cooking and watching a movie? Anything is possible...
