Loving and living this life in Seattle

This past weekend in Seattle, city of major tech giants and über geeks galore, Geek Girl Con was born. This was the first ever Con devoted to us …

I volunteer regularly at the Seattle Art Museum, or SAM as it’s fondly known around here. I love art. I find it riveting to be in the presence of great works of art. It’s not common for me to consider myself an artist. I am very creative and find time to paint every now and …
