Here's a little bit of randomness, "About Me." My name is Kate. Just Kate. I'm a left-handed American Woman. This red is my real hair color, although I wore a blonde wig, once. I was born and raised in California's Central Valley - at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I always dream in color and I have never broken any of my own bones. (I have broken many a Thanksgiving turkey wishbone, though.) I love the smell of the air just before it starts to rain, the sight of the snowcapped mountains of home and the sound of an acoustic guitar played in the firelight. I've never been ice skating, but I touched the Liberty Bell when a guard wasn't looking. I'm a sucker for kittens, Van Morrison music and Snickerdoodles. Someday I'm going to dance barefoot under the Eiffel Tower in the rain...That's about all there is to it.

I hope you enjoy my snapshots of life...
