Life home: Fortunate to have 8 sentient beings with me: husband, son, 2 dogs and 4 cats in the almost-country on the side of a valley with lots of trees, a great view, peace and quiet. Living while enjoying family; floating on the pool and laying in the hammock; watching Netflix-streaming television & movies; reading mysteries, science fiction and fantasy books on my Kindle; playing solitaire (cards & mahjong), Scrabble and other word games, and Tetris on my MacBook Pro; and running my life from my iPhone.
