I’m a Magpie

Brr! It’s the rainy season all of a sudden!
It’s a good tired. Last night, Hope, Jason & went to see the the Go Gos at the Independant (pics to come). Then today, Hope and I drove down to a nature reserve outside Palo Alto where we saw a Kingfisher, some hawks, egrets, and a funny little bird with a yellow spotted belly. It’s [...]

His father was a naval officer, and Martin’s favorite form of plat was floating his toy boats in the bathtub and torpedoiung them. Both parents had become frustrated with Martin because he consistently [...]
We are, of course, going for drinks at Vesuvio tonight.
The 79 AD Eruption of Vesuvius by Pliny the Younger (AD 61-113)
My dear Tacitus,

I'm a library assistant, writer, and perpetual graduate student living in San Francisco. Special skills include dog charming, brochure writing, slapdash cooking and long-winded nattering. I also enjoy watching the sunset's reflection in the tall buildings downtown.
For a while there, I taught classes on Classical literature, philosophy, and the history of religion at New College of California. I have an MA and an MFA in Writing, and started library school in the fall of 2009.
