Retired speechwriter. Big fan of Peppermint Patty and wooden jigsaw puzzles. Ex-Wall St, ex-NYT, ex-dotcom stuff. Ex-New Yorker, now in Las Vegas I've been around since the days of usenet (met my husband there, our kids are now in their 20s). Most of my public writing is under my own name on Quora, or elsewhere under someone else's byline. She/her
