life offline
I am an active player and community member of the New York Ramblers, the world’s first openly gay sports club. Proud member since March 2021. Learn more here.
Though I have fallen out of the habit of painting, it’s met presently with an active hobby in book binding. Making covers, painting covers, collaging covers, exploring new stitches and binding methods…it’s a favorite pastime.
I like learning and storytelling. If I’m not resting or socializing, offline time includes reading books (annoyingly a non-fiction person), gallery hopping, museum-going, and attending lecture-type events. I’d like to attend more stage shows (think Broadway) and concerts in the future.
