I am an attorney representing low income people on claims of housing discrimination, particularly on behalf of disabled persons, and other civil rights issues. I am actively parenting daughters - two juniors, one in college, one in high school. I hike, bike, read, travel occasionally and take in the cultural offerings New Haven has to offer.

Ice skating, reading, imagining, listening and holding up my end in conversation.

Favorite writers: Mitchell Meltzer, Phillip Roth, Alice Munro, Michel Houellebecq , Phillip Levine our new national poet laureate- currently reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Plato's Revenge by William Ophuls, Robert Bellah. Music: Nina Simone, Springsteen, Phillip Glass, Tom Waits, classical, folk. My daughters have taught me how to appreciate dance, among other things. Food I like.

Food and a cot

ecological issues, the state of the country, my daughters, whether the NY Rangers will ever win the Stanley Cup again, and other imponderables including myself.

Eating frozen yogurt (its pro-biotic you know) and walking the town with my younger daughter.

I'll get back to you on this.
