PERSONAL

I live in a rent-controlled pre-war apartment building in Adams Morgan in Washington, D.C. amidst books (too many) and a modest collection of textiles, photographs and mid-century art. I like to cook. I do not clean as I go. I do not have a dishwasher. I do not own a microwave. I like to walk, lift, stretch, swim. I do not get to do enough of any of it. I just ordered a pair of figure skates. Let’s see how that goes.
