About

I am a woman of that “certain age” who finds herself living life backwards.  I feel better and more alive than I ever have and I plan to continue that way.  This blog is meant to contain reflections on my activities, my life, life in general and whatever else strikes me as I continue through my life.

I’ve had a wonderful life (so far) filled with lots of interesting detours and fruitful sidetracks.  I like to see my life as an adventure.  All my experiences (both conscious and otherwise) have conspired to provide a full and enjoyed life.  Of course, there have been the inevitable setbacks, sadness and adversity.  But those are the real anvils on which our character is shaped.  I embrace, to the best of my ability, the ups and the downs.

Through a strange sequence of events I have spent the last 20 years in San Diego working as a software engineer of various capacities (from grunt developer to VP).  I love my work but work alone doesn’t make a life.  I am fortunate to have a loving husband, three wonderful children (and their spouses/mates) and, to my great delight, one grandson.  It has come as a complete surprise how much I love that child!

I have had a lifelong interest in food, cooking, baking and health.  A more recent passion is photography.  This blog is intended as a way to share my life and interests with others.
