Info junkie, mother of five adults, grandmother (#4 arrived yesterday 11/20 ! ) don’t fit in any traditional
cultural box. My parents were nomads of sorts and I was along for the ride, a lonely one but I am grateful for it. And I make clothes, coats mostly. Oh and I would be dead but for music. Also I don’t comma much.
