After seven years, I finally feel like a New Yorker. I’ve lived here longer than I’ve lived anywhere else, as a matter of fact. I’m a writer/editor-type. I like to make things: collages, food, clothes, occasional messes. I went to high school in Maine, college in New Mexico, and graduate school in New York. Now I work at the New York Sun slinging words: mine and other people’s.  For a long time, I was looking for a way out, but now I feel more settled and am just looking to take longer vacations.
