City mouse but love the country, woods, lakes and North Shore. Grew up Robbinsdale and North Mpls. De La Sale HS, UofMinn, U of St. Thomas, international MBA. Love to read, mysteries, history, comedy. Authors: Lorna Landvik, Kent Krueger, Jon Hassler, Louise Erdrich. Music, Bonnie Raitt, Sade, R&B, Jazz Etta James. TV: PBS, TCM, cooking shows, Gophers.
