Hmmm...well, after living in the RED state of Texas for the past 6 years, I'm finally returning to my home town of Portland. I've had more careers than one person should have and not yet be 40 - I've been a student, a politico (worked for the Clinton White House for most of his 2 terms), a tax accountant, a volunteer trauma counselor for Portland Fire and Police, did a short stint at Portland 911 center (that's a rather dysfunctional bunch), then rode out the tech boom and bust doing public and media relations in the private sector.

How a tree-hugging, birkenstock-wearing, soy-latte drinking, microbrew swigging, ACLU-card carrying, New York Times reading, liberal Jewish Democrat like me has lived in Texas for this long and not get lynched, I'm not sure, but it's been an interesting experience for sure!

For the first time in over 20 years, I won't have a job - and this much-welcomed sabbatical is what I need to 1) learn that there's more to life than just working 80 hours/week, and 2) finally GET A LIFE!

No husband (been married to politics and my professions), no kids (although I love them), and have 2 cats which are my "kids" for now. Don't know what the future will bring....but I'm excited to face it every day :)
