La mia biblioteca

I'm mad about non fiction. I NEED reference books, regardless of subject. I'm a fiend for words; dictionaries were my first love and rich, layered, descriptive words new to me create spasms of pleasure when I first hear them uttered.

I live for music I can perform (my tattered scores discarded from the Oberlin music library are my treasures). The smell of old, stacks books sends me into spasms of sensual glee. I revel in irreverent humor, shocking content and any book which teaches me something I didn't know.



I strive for minimalism and a house full of open space. I prefer rooms with echoes and flat surfaces without embellishments. At this rate I'm fairly certain I'll achieve that state of perfection about 5 minutes before I die.
Informazione su di me
If you've previously seen my profile, you might remember a photo of a place I discovered and to which I yearned to return--Half Moon Bay. Well, I never quite made it back there, for many reasons, however, as of December 2021 I think I've managed to land somewhere I love even more. I'm now living in Mosteiros on Sao Miguel Island, Açores, Portugal with my best friend and partner, Scott Wagner. We currently have a little house on a balcony over the North Atlantic Ocean while we look at a property to make our permanent home. There's no jazz club currently, but after we find our home, we're planning to work on that, too. :) For now, I'm learning to read (and speak) European Portuguese.

ABOUT MY PHOTO
I left my heart in...well not quite SanFrancisco, but a little paradise just outside of San Francisco called Half Moon Bay.
This is a photo taken with a disposable camera of a place I spent my life seeking and will spend the rest of my life trying to return forever. If I ever settle down, it will be here in my utopia, Half Moon Bay.
..and if you go, say hello to Pete at Bach's Dynamite and Dancing Society. http://www.bachddsoc.org/

I often feel tempted to take a SICK DAY so I can stay in bed and READ.
I rarely leave the house without a book. The best is reading about music or performing!!!
