The windy city. I’m still a New Englander at heart (go Red Sox!) but Chicago has become my adopted home. I moved here not expecting to stay more than a year or two, but I’ve been smitten with the vibrancy of this city and the easy way about it.

Few living souls know that I was a radio DJ in college. We had the 6–7am time slot, so most of our loyal listeners were Waterville locals rather than our fellow students. It was a great way to experiment with having a “public” voice while playing with one of my loves, music. These days my only DJ-ing happens on my iPod.

Finding my own creativity. I have a great passion for the arts, but was unlucky enough to get none of the talent for it myself. I come from a family with strong artistic talents and I work with cultural organizations everyday – so, fortunately, I’m able to surround myself with people whose talents I admire. Knitting is my one successful creative outlet and I just bought a sewing machine, so at least I’ve found some ways to give the right side of my brain some exercise!

Leisure reading. It’s so varied that I can’t think of a theme or genre that I tend to gravitate towards most – other than the fact that I don’t miss an issue of National Geographic. I’m usually reading a fiction and a non-fiction at the same time, to keep some variety. Right now I’m reading A Partisan’s Daughter by Louis De Bernières and just digging into A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson; hopefully I’ll learn a thing or two.
