About me, humm. 
Well, I read, therefore I am.
I'm married to George--therefore I am.

We are servants to two cats: Zertia, a pedigreed Valley Girl, and Quink, an unpredictable alien.

I like fountain pens. George indulges me.
George likes trains. I do not interrupt him.
We like to cook and bake.
We collect cheesecake recipes. We have 734.

During college I got my real estate license. I learned that systems matter for productivity; And words in order will create a predictable response. And mentors make a difference. 

After college I went the corporate route -- and learned that processes guarantee success, decisions like when to go to lunch--and with whom--make a difference, and how to be part of a team.
