| Introduction | I am a born and bred Yankee from the New Yawk metro area. Say it loud! I tootle around town a lot: tootle means to walk or drive in a leisurely fashion, amble. I worked as a photojournalist for punk rock magazines in the metro area of NYC back in the 80's. I love punk rock and still think the Ramones and Patti Smith Group were some of the best live bands in the universe. In the 90's, we moved to the rural hills of Appalachia-yeah, that's what I said! and we learned how to SIMPLIFY. Simply put, that meant no running water, no indoor toilet, no heat, no neighbors for a mile around. Might I mention how great that decade of my life was!! (More later...) During that time, I wrote a weekly column called Nature's Way in my local newspaper and TAWKED (pardonez mon accent!), about organic gardening and well, nature! Now I live in the "south" (below the Mason Dixon Line), and have been called a yankee more than once. The funny thing is, we northerners like being called yankees. After all, we named our baseball team, da Yankees. My aim with this blog is to pass on to whomever wishes (not only yankees!) some of my adventures tootling around the world. |
| Interests | Being a foodie and an organic grower, I eat out often and favor slow cooking and locally produced food. Being a photographer, I snap shots of whatever grabs my fancy and have several exhibits, solo and en mass, here, there and anywhere that I can! I'll let you know about those. I attend at least 10 concerts/shows per year so I can give you advance notice of shows and reviews! I love art, professional, amateur and even student art. I buy it, produce it and attend gallery openings, receptions and exhibits-details will follow! |
