Other Than That, My Life Is Really Ordinary

I like living in small spaces.
I bake to relax.
I share custody of my dogs.
I listen to country music.
I bought my first home at age 45.
My parents are nearing 90.
I once had a summer job sorting Marine Corps personnel files.
I’ve been to Belfast.
I once edited an article by former senator and presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy.
I lived with my brother for eight years as an adult.
I’ve never felt unsafe walking alone in New York City, no matter what time of day.
I taught myself to swim.
I taught myself to ride a bike.
I didn’t know how to ride a bike until I was about nine years old.
I think the swimming came even later.
I’ve been to Hawaii twice.
