I credit and blame my parents for these columns. Both were endlessly fascinated by everything and never thought to ask themselves , for example, if it was really necessary to
solve every version of a Rubik's cube or if our family actually needed 200 jars of homemade maraschino cherries. They just went for it. So my childhood was quirky, also, my teenage years and my whole life.
When I want to impress people, I tell them that I have a degree in English from Brigham Young University, a degree in Psychology from Weber State University and a Masters in Education also from Weber State. I work at Weber as an academic advisor. I'm married to a wonderful guy, Dave, who is a professor at Weber. We have one lovely daughter, Catherine, who is grown up now and is by far the best thing in our lives. We also have a spoiled cat who thinks he is the best thing in our lives.
That all sounds nice, and it is, but the reality is that I'm just like my parents. I'm interested in everything except sports (I'm hopeless at sports). This means that I dabble in everything but don't have the time to get really good at anything. I like to say that I'm like Leonardo DaVinci, but without the talent.
When I'm not working at my job or writing goofy columns, I'm either traveling, or trying to figure out a way to get traveling as soon as possible. Be sure to say hi if you see me at the Disney parks.
