Despite my love of words, writing, gentle mockery, and sharing the love, I have not been very devoted to this blogging thing. But given that I'll be taking off for foreign lands in less than a month, it's a good time to dust off the unused blog. Whether I'll have internet connection in unknown location, Bolivia, remains to be seen.

Born and raised in Boston's suburbia, in a house bordering a swamp. My love of getting muddy has never faded, though now I have cool rubber boots. Lost my Boston accent in 7th grade when we moved to Lincoln , MA. Went to college in Maine and fell in love with the smell and the deepest night skies I've ever seen. Up and moved to the desert, well, a desert of concrete within a desert: Phoenix, AZ where I taught high school English and Reading Improvement. Freaked out that I'd turn into one of my jaded and angry 55 year old over-worked and martyred colleauges, I skipped town after my two year committment. Suckered into teaching again, briefly, and then left the country for a bird research gig in Argentina. Learned enough Spanish to flirt and piss off locals, travelled a bit. Returned to homeland to paint houses and recap financial losses. Finally got paid to travel: leading teenagers around South Africa. Currently beginning graduate school in science journalism. I told you biology and english were not disparate sunjects.
