Ex-Montrealer/Torontonian/Vancouverite/Whitehorser/Spouse/Saskatoonian.
30 year journeywoman career Professional artiste; toured, played, wrote, recorded, banded, fronted, backed up and pushed, got out and pushed, repaired, bike wrenched, taught, learned, parented, and generally experienced the wonders of the universe included driving down through Northern British Columbia on the Stewart Cassiar "highway" at minus 36c in a whiteout blizzard for 24 hours straight with guardian angels putting in some serious overtime. I am also sort of stubborn.
Banjophile and bicycle insaneoid. Canadian and proud of it, in a non-committed, not overly enthusiastic or demonstrative, quiet and cautious, and occasionally apologetic kind of a laid back and understated way. And green monkeys are flying out of my butt.
