The statistics-

Birthday: July 18.   Now that you know, don't forget it!

Astrology sign: that would make me a Cancer, right?

I have never had a proper nickname, I'm entertaining suggestions in that department.

Siblings: the fabulous John, a.k.a. "Squirt" - he just started high school.

Likes: scooter rallies (duh)!  Also: baseball, chocolate, sushi, travel, good friends, and thunderstorms.

Dislikes: bad spelling, bad breath, bad manners, bad drivers, bad hygiene, and my endless job search.

Rides:

Snow White, my first and beloved '79 P125X.  I'm in the process of rebuilding a nice P200 engine to give her a little extra pep, and I hope to give her a complete makeover by way of a new paint job sometime in the next year.   I have the front plate off my 70s Huffy Thunder Rose that is just dying to have another life on a scooter, I swear.

The Swinger, a sexy red and white 1980-ish Serveta 150 Special.  She's one of the prettiest girls on the block!

The Project, our 1965 TV200 that we hope to begin work on someday soon.

Felixx, my commuter, is a 2001 Vespa ET4.  I picked him up when I was getting rid of my car, grudgingly deciding that I would ride an automatic as a daily runner.  I was so impressed by the little thing that I picked up some part time hours at Vespa Washington and now enthusiastically sell new Vespas. Reliability!  Brakes!  Who would have imagined?!  After a fun course with Rolf out at Piaggio HQ in California, I'm also certified Vespa Assistenza.

My favorites change from moment to moment, so it's kind of hard to make a list.  Although my favorite journalist is definitely my bestest
