So, I've resisted creating my own personal website for many years now, but here's a start. This site could get a lot more interesting as I am inspired (and make time for), we'll see...

      My personal name was actually unique until a few of years ago. Then I found that there was a country-western band (eeeek!) using my name in Connecticut (I won't link to them, but you can Google it); and also a pop band in the UK. I'm not really concerned, because all bands fade with time, and I've had my name for over 17 years now. Oh yes, and a historical romance novel by my name was published a couple of years ago. —Perhaps it's time for me to write my own! :-)

All links will launch new browser windows —sorry if you dislike that,
but it will leave this page open in the background, making it easier to return to.

Photography is one of my passions:

Close-up photography of a First Frost.

Photos from my third and best trip to Hawaii in August 2005.

An East Bay California sunset.

More nature photography, some of which goes way back!

A few photos of my home and yard. I did the masonry and gardening myself!

Life as a Geek-ess and beyond:

My history in the sordid Internet industry (since '95), including some pretty decent web design, such as TreeShapers, and a recent re-design of LoveWithoutLimits, Deborah Anapol's site (which I originally created in '98).

For a laugh, I was interviewd by the National Post in 2000 about email etiquette.

Looking back, here's my personal Log from a four-month sailing journey that I went on at the turn of Y2K, just after selling my first business.

What am I up to these days? ...Just ask!
