I’ve been married to Dave, a high school physics teacher, since 2001. We dote upon our English Cocker Rigel and our three Tonkinese cats — Megs, Obi and Cali. I’m a small animal relief veterinarian in Southern California, filling in at veterinary hospitals as needed.
I have more tattoos than Dave. He’s jealous and trying to catch up. I have a relatively small celtic cat triskelion on my right upper arm, a corvid with a pictish spiral on my left upper arm, and a puma on my right shoulder blade.
Things we do: triathlons, hiking, SCUBA diving, traveling, wine tasting. If we’re lucky we get to do all of that on one trip.
We’re also the oddballs of our neighborhood in Hermosa Beach, restoring our 1920s Spanish Eclectic bungalow in a neighborhood where old houses are usually considered teardowns or at best ’starter homes’.
We’ve also dug out our lawn and replaced it with native plants (people driving by actually slowed down and gawked at us while we were doing some of the hardscaping). Just wait til we put up a wind turbine or solar panels…..(NOTE: solar panels coming June 2008!)
