It's about friendship and laughter and sharing a journey of adventure and discovery. . . Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I think I'm a pretty interesting person--but I'm not an author, so it may not come across well in this blurb. I am an emergency manager/disaster contingency planner. I do federal istance program administration/ facilitation after Presidential Declarations (like Katrina, like Loma Prieta, like Northridge, etc.) I am also a perpetual student currently learning animal behaviorism with an emphasis on dogs. Got two girl-doggers of my own; both rescues; both unique individuals with their own issues. And a bunch of pack friends who come to visit and have sleep overs. Check us out sometime at one of the Fairfax County off leash dog parks :-) I grew up in Riverside,CA; lived more than half my life in San Bernardino County; graduated from Redlands University. Now I'm in the 'big city' and learning to rehab and remodel my house (1940 tract home. Solid, but unimaginative construction typical of the era.) At the rate I'm going, it should be done by 2025 :-) I'm slow--but thorough. The same applies to my friendships--slow with no time limit. I enjoy learning--about people, about your hobbies, about your life and life's dreams.
