I’m practical, curious, independent, and a little dry-humored. My dogs are a big part of my life, and much of my day is built around their walks, routines, and personalities. I read a lot, enjoy cooking and meal planning, like good mysteries and smart TV, and try to get outside when I can — walking, being in the forest, or camping occasionally. I’d rather trade real observations than small talk: what people are reading, cooking, noticing, laughing about, or working through.
