About Me

I was raised in St. Paul, Minnesota on a steady diet of Hi-C, four-square and tent camping. I did a lot of theater when I was little, which turned out to be a great way to amuse myself and others while avoiding things like homework and chores. By college, I'd gotten a little sick of memorizing things other people had written and moved on to performance art and the sundry other things that one could fiddle around with in the studio arts department. Since then, I've dipped my feet in a variety of creative pools, including Yiddish swing music and jug band music, bookmaking, knitting and stop-motion animation.

When I was little I asked a lot of questions, at least inside my head, and that hasn't changed much. These days, though, the questions run in a curious, schizophrenic arc, from "When will climate change reach a tipping point and unleash devastation?" to "Who will be the next Food Network Star?" I'm thinking most people's brains are operating in pretty much the same way these days.

So this site is a messy journal of those questions, asked and occasionally hesitantly answered from a work room in a little Sears-styled house in south Minneapolis.

(Those in search of more me might look to my old tumblr, hunter:gather. I don't update it, but then again I don't pull it down either, so there must be something in there I still find valuable...)
