My blogs
| Gender | Female |
|---|---|
| Location | Washington DC/Baltimore area, United States |
| Introduction | I'm a writer/trial lawyer, a long time registered Republican who campaigned for Obama, a somewhat introverted middle class woman who's learned how astonishingly easy it is to bridge the largest gaps in experience just by listening. |
| Interests | practice of law (primarily civil rights, but contracts are a lot more interesting than you'd think), writing and literature in general, learning, slowly and painfully, to read T'ang dynasty poetry in the original, anything my fascinating scientist husband and political journalist and punk rock children are doing |
| Favorite movies | Little Miss Sunshine, African Queen, Barber Shop, Spartacus |
| Favorite music | Not that musical, but tend towards blues (Keb Mo) or bluesy pop, Aretha Franklin and Etta James. Of course, nobody is better than my son, the drummer for Mindset. |
| Favorite books | Love books! Reading the Greek plays out loud w/ the fascinating scientist husband, especially enjoy Iphigenia at Aulis, love the later Western classics, e.g., Austen's work, House of Mirth, Middlemarch, Checkhov's short stories, Great Gatsby, Flannery O'Conner's short stories. Robert Olen Butler may be my favorite living writer. |
