Here I am, about 4 years old, carrying my transistor radio. I'm standing on the great lawn of my housing complex. (For you non-city folks, them's the projects).

Stats
Born in New York 65-plus years ago, I somehow escaped to the Land of Enchanted Queers (Nuevo Mexico) in 1988. There, I found the love of my life.
I'm a recovered Catholic, non-Spanish speaking chocolate-brown skinned nuyorican. I've been a vegetarian, a Lesbian separatist, a spirit maven and nature goddess. Somewhere in there I had a child, got my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and got a Medical Lab Tech degree. I admit I am an art and biology nerd.
Activities
Kris, my partner of 30-plus years (the love of my life previously mentioned) and I met country western dancing. We couple danced for several years, almost every weekend, then got very involved with modern western square dance. We dance with The Wilde Bunch, a gay group of Gay, Lesbian, bi, trans and straight square dance folk in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kris is a square dance caller for our group. She has also been involved in folk dancing with FolkMADS as well as calling contras and traditional squares.
I introduced Kris to square dancing and she introduced me to the Macintosh. Now I enjoy my time at the computer maintaining a few websites, surfing and playing World of Warcraft. Unfortunately, I haven't given much time to my (traditional) artwork in many years, though I really enjoy the artistry and craft origami these days.
In 2013 Kris and I were married in Seattle during a square dance weekend. We both had family in attendance - her brother and wife, my sister and husband. We deeply thank Puddletown Squares for hosting our event, and club members for wedding planning. We are thankful for our square dance family!
Pets
Kris has long had dobermans and I've become very fond of the breed as well. We lost our most recent companion dog in 2016: Riley, a red male doberman. Visit our Dogs page to read about our dobes and other dogs.
