I like five o’clock shadows, old vintage film cameras, a good secret, feisty sparring, people that make me laugh, curling up with a good book, the violin, and quoting song lyrics.

I do not like people that refuse to go the speed limit, unwarranted meanness, and the icy scrape of a snowboarder behind me hauling down the mountain.

I am sarcastically optomistic. I believe anything is possible and that tomorrow will be a great day. But just in case it isn't, I reserve the right to complain early and often.

I'm a big fan of food.

I write about style for the Seattle PI and to expel the crazy voices in my head.
