| Introduction | Well, I have 2 teenagers...so I am taxi driver, personal chef, concierge, craft coordinator, you know the routine...I have spent the better part of my 25 year professional career as a social worker and program manager (putting my master's degree to good work), then took a year off, and tried to stay home (a BIG misnomer), then my daughter got cancer (whew-she is fine-in remission 5 years!), I started a real estate business so that I could help people make smart real estate investments and also use part of my commission to help Children's Hospital. Being involved in the hospital guild is great, but I would really love to get down there and volunteer on a regular basis! |

| Favorite books | I read way too many knitting books and self improvement books (too embarrassed to mention), the Week magazine, other "real" books: Anything by Geraldine Brooks, anything by Forrest Church, Life of Oi,Art of Racing in the Rain,I think that the "Pioneer Woman Cooks" does count as a real book, because she includes ALOT of stories in it!
