A few “who the heck am I?” hashtags: #GoDucks (lifelong fan; bleed green & yellow) #SaveLocalJournalism (part of my DNA as a past newspaper reporter) #WorkersRights (labor writer; career union member) #Broadway (best thing about DC? Being c. 3 hours by train from #NYC & its theaters. #Finland (magnificent trip last decade with wonderful relatives as hosts) #pescatarian (no beef, chicken, pork, etc., but fish, yes, and cheese & ice cream because, well, I love them).
