Wild Fact About Me one leg is shorter than the other--not severely...just enough to give me knee pain.
My Philosophy Never acquire so much that your arms are too full to reach out and lend a hand to others.
What Gives Me Hope Resilience.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Talk to the citizens IN PERSON. It's not just the public officials who have good ideas--usually it's those who have the least that are the most creative about how to use what they have.
What/who changed my life and why My great, great uncle utley. Never knew him, but he built an incredible cabin on a lake in the adirondacks that started my love affair with the outdoors. If i could, i would live there forever.
What Bugs Me coercive media, lack of proactive communication, lack of health care, the misunderstanding of david lynch, lack of resouces for rural counties, badly planned urban development, excessive portions of food, mayonnaise, interruption, road rage, stubbornness  
Passions the plans for my little cabin, yurts, tinctures, tofu, good friends and family, bonfires, foraging, plumbing--who knew, dogs, building, hand tools, composting, finding new uses for odd things, rebuilding/rewiring/refinishing antiques, music  
Inspirations my sociology professors, jane eyre, dolly parton, betty white, jim henson, grams, anyone who thinks outside of the box, edward gorey, my uncle, the adirondacks, olfactory distinctions  
What Scares Me ashamed to admit--snakes, those baby dolls coming alive, people who don't listen, ignorancy and bigotry
