About Me

I used to be a designer, analyst, programmer (and very much your basic geeky coder). Now I am just curious.

My husband accepted the position of Director of the Johnson County Library, KS in  2014 and we moved from Fort Wayne, IN to Kansas City, MO. I was practically born and raised in Fort Wayne and this was my first move to another city/state.

And I am loving it! So I am going to be writing about all the new places we go in Kansas City and of course, our other travels. And anything else that takes my fancy.

… And this was my original “About Me”:

I’m a coder. As Programmer/Analyst Consultant at a large insurance company and then as an IT Specialist with IBM. I’ve programmed mainframes, midrange, PCs, Unix, Windows, client-server apps, web apps, you name it. But I finally got tired of the rat-race and retired. But I can’t help it, my new desire is to learn all the Web 2.0 tools and use them to help create a new world. 🙂
