Some Extra Tidbits about Me

I love birds.
I love puns.
I’m an introvert, and I still like people.
I also have the trait of sensory processing sensitivity.
(Deep bow to Dr. Elaine Aron, researcher of the SPS trait.)
I love cats, dogs, and other companion animals, with a special fondness for the almighty pug.
I spent my childhood in Kansas and I remember tornadoes.
I spent 15 of my adult years on the U.S. West Coast and I remember a few earthquakes.
I’m currently living in Colorado with my partner, Richard.  Oh right, also keyboard manager and 18-year-old empathy bird, Kiki.
