In My Own Words:
Forty-ish fiber freak. Married, with one son. Live in Colorado, have visited or lived in most of the lower 48 states. Favorite places are Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming. Would love to go to Alaska and Maine someday.
Love books, especially science fiction and fiber-related (knitting, crochet, spinning...). Also love music, favorite performers are Elton John, Enya, Sting, and Heart.
