Interesting hobbies: I am continuing to learn how to be a gardener using "square foot gardening"-- a high density planting style. My three kids have their own sections of the garden, as do I. It is a great way to get a lot of vegetables and flowers out of a small space. Best part: hardly any weeding.
Would like to live for 6 months: I want very much to live in Ghana for a while and learn more about African textiles.
Listening to: Cheik Lo, "Lamp Fall". He is from Senegal and on this recording combines some Brazilian, Cuban and of course Senegalese styles.
