I'm an editor/arts writer for the Sacramento News & Review. I'm also on Myspace.
Grew up in Connecticut. Lived at some point, and for some duration: Boston (51 Phillips!), Puget Sound, Newport (RI), Reykjavik (Iceland), Maine & now Sacramento, CA.
I've held a Tony, an Oscar, and an Emmy in my grubby hands, none of them mine of course.
Can trace my mother's family back 1350 years.
I've posed nude (amongst 70 other naked, freezing souls) for photographer Spencer Tunick.
