About me

Gender Female
Industry Technology
Occupation Technical writer (retired 6/09)
Location Kenmore, Washington, United States
Introduction Born in CA, I arrived in Seattle, WA, 18 years ago via Portland, OR and Lansing, MI. After a short and unremarkable career as a zoologist, I wrote technical documentation for various software companies for 20-some years before retiring on disability in 2009. I live with my partner (Scarecrow), our daughter (Tuffy), a variable number of retired racing greyhounds, and two whippets.
Interests Music (old-timey banjo, guitar, mandolin-family), dancing (clogging, contra, square, Morris), quilting, reading (the only one of these things I can still actually do), greyhounds, whippets. And stalking dead people.
Favorite Movies The Station Agent, Shine, Sweet Land, Smoke Signals, Best in Show, Les Choristes, Local Hero, Truly Madly Deeply, Les Triplettes de Belleville
Favorite Music Traditional mostly: old-timey, celtic, Quebecois, blues. JJ Cale. Chris Smither. Classical guitar.
Favorite Books Oh dear. I have to choose?
