Odds and ends that make me, well…Me.

* My all time favorite children’s book is A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle.

* If I were offered a last meal, there would be a Buster Bar from Dairy Queen and a fine glass of red wine at the end of it.

* I am politically active and give time and attention to organizations that provide health care and other public health services to people in my community and abroad.

* I wrote my first song, titled “In the Key of Blue”, at age 11, was offered a job as a bass player in a local band at 12, and played with my school jazz band at the famous Tralfamadore Club in Buffalo, NY at 13. I didn’t learn until years later that the name of the “Tralf” embodies another passion of mine: science fiction.

* I hate being cold and can’t sleep without being covered in heavy blankets.

* I was an only child until I was six years old.

* My favorite cartoon of all time is Thundercats. I had a secret crush on Lion-O and have found men with red hair really cute ever since.

* I hope to travel to Brazil in the near future.

* My fashion sense is kept in check by my much younger and hipper sister and brother.

* I can communicate with understanding in three languages: English, Spanish and American Sign Language.

* I am an INTP, and Enneagram Type 5 with a 4-wing.
