Your responses to last month’s Q »

Born and raised: I grew up in beautiful Seattle, Washington. Its temperate climate and greenery can not be beat—I miss the rain! But I sure do love this flat Midwestern landscape for bicycling, which is usually how I get to work.

Hobbies: I am an avid cook and I’m working toward becoming a productive gardener. With my first non-container garden in seven years, I’m excited for bountiful backyard summer harvests! I also brew beer, sew and dabble in other artsy-crafty enterprises.

Hidden talent: I earned my spending money in college as a professional cookie decorator. Oh, and I can ride a unicycle, too.
