My Blog About Piet (and Angel)
Once there was a dog. Piet.
And there was -- and still is -- a cat. Angel.
I wrote this blog about the joyous experience of living with Piet. He, we discovered, was born with two bad kidneys -- and it made not one whit of difference in the fun he got out of life.
It was kismet -- for both me and Angel, who has been my guardian angel through lots of ups and downs for more than 12 years.
What a privilege -- and how fun -- it was to get to be with Piet.
Angel felt the same way.
Journalism and the Arts
My writing has appeared in many major newspapers, from The Boston Globe to the Chicago Tribune. I’ve edited dense scholarly texts for the National Gallery of Art, lively feature stories for the University of Virginia, and contributed more than 1,000 items to the J. Paul Getty Museum’s website.
I've written frequently about business and technology and gardening, which is my passion. I’ve not only written about technology, I’ve helped people use it by creating user guides and training materials.
I wrote the catalogue for the first museu exhibition on California wood engraver Paul Landacre for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
