Personal:

I live in Greensboro with my husband, our two teens, and two cats. My favorite ways to unwind include reading one of my many magazine subscriptions (some favorites include The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and Mother Jones), listening to Depeche Mode-ish eighties music, car dancing/lip-synching, watching old SNL episodes with my family, meeting friends for coffee, and browsing independent bookstores.
