Homeschooling mom of four. We have lived all over the US, both coasts and even Alaska. News junky and future Digg burnout, I'm active on several social news sites. I'm also a former pastry chef, aspiring writer, burn-out politics junky, knitter, orchid grower, green gardener, biology and genetics follower. I love movies, and I still find a little time to read a few books each year. Current big passions are hockey, psychology theory, and game theory.
