Favorite food group:  Battered and fried...or Asian...or Italian....or Mexican....or....

If I won the lottery, I would:  Pay-off my student loans and then build a straw-bale house out in the country - complete with an artist's studio. I would also hire my own personal chef and never cook again - not that I do much cooking to begin with.

Favorite website:  NPR's All Songs Considered : http://www.npr.org/programs/asc/

Last good book I read:  I've been in a new read lurch so I've been re-reading the classics. Just finished the Little House series for the umpteenth time and my new favorite series - Ender's Game .

If I weren't a librarian, I'd be:  Green architect or textile artist.

What I really like about my job is: All the innovation and flexibility. We're encouraged to be creative and find new ways to flex our information muscle. Right now we're exploring the library as Third Place .

My favorite SLA memory is: SLA Toronto. It was my first conference and the fist time traveling by myself.

The one thing I really hate to do in the library is: Abstract. I did so much of it in my interning days that I find it mind-numbing now.

People would be surprised to know that I: wanted to be a fighter pilot when I was younger. Ironically, flying is starting to freak me out more and more with each passing year.
