About Me
I am a 10-year resident of a St. Charles County suburb. I am intrigued by hyper-local movements, citizen journalism, new urbanism (not sure if it’s working, though), voluntary simplicity, hospitality and homesteading.
Some of my favorite authors are: Helen and Scott Nearing, James Howard Kunstler, Garrison Keillor and Erma Bombeck.
I love reading place blogs to find out what’s going on in other towns. Our community is unique, too; we just have to look beyond those crazy big boxes.
