I have travelled to several countries over the course of my life. but have now decided to stay at home in the the Southwest and do favorite creative things. I maintain a large garden, play with the cats, cook (I used to be a private chef in Hollywood) and keep a connection to theatre here but I was more active in my Los Angeles days. I love writing snail mail where I can add artwork in the margins. I have a beautiful carved upright piano made in 1894. on which I bang out some blues and classical pieces. I'm a book lover, having spent many years in publishing, mostly providing indexes.
