| Introduction | I'm a married woman living in Northern California. I love my husband dearly. I can't imagine life without my our pets, Wrigley, Heidi, and Bronson. And I love the adventure we call "life" immensely. |
| Interests | marketing, advertising, politics, campaigns, branding, entrepreneurism, snow skiing, running, biking, german shepherds, horses, the Episcopal Church, music, live music, recorded music, anything musical, home improvement, international travel, domestic travel |
| Favorite Movies | I'm terrible at remembering movies. I enjoy some foreign films like Amelie, and enjoy silly comedies or keep-you-confused dramas or action flicks. I stay away from horror flicks - life's hard enough! |
| Favorite Music | Too many to list here. It started in 1992 with Dave Matthews Band and sort of went from there- if that helps. However- my taste ranges from Classical to the Hardcore. Now you're confused- right? |
| Favorite Books | I enjoy books written by British authors for a different perspective on life. I also enjoy non-fiction books on history, the Church, or music. Of course, as a marketing professional, I read some marketeer books. I'm trying to diversify my bookshelf by reading books from our Prestwick House warehouse, including The Lovely Bones, Fast Food Nation, and revisiting some classics I haven't read for over 10 years. |
If mud is dirt plus water, what is clay?
Clay is a group of hydrous aluminium phyllosilicate minerals, typically < 2 μm in diameter. Clay consists of a variety of phyllosilicate minerals rich in silicon & aluminium oxides & hydroxides which include variable amounts of structural H2O. Clays are distinguished from other small particles in soils by their small size, flake/layered shape, affinity for H2O & tendency toward high plasticity.
