I am enthusiastic about nature, the environment, our place in the world, the universe and cosmos, life's big questions, and having conversations about these topics. I love animals and have two cats. I love to read and delve deep into material when I can. I am very curious and hope to live to be 100 (haha) so that I can keep learning more and seeing what happens next. I am a semi retired librarian who started painting recently. I like to write novels but have yet to find an agent, but I did self-published a children's picture book. I hope to make the world better than I find it.
