Let me show you around.

I moved to Tucson in 1993 to accept a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Arizona. I am a clinical psychologist and directed Alzheimer rehabilitation research projects at the University between 1994 and 2001.  I currently direct an exercise and memory- and language-stimulation program for memory-challenged senior adults using university interns and volunteers to administer the interventions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbscTmUKHVc

 
Operating this bed and breakfast fulfilled a lifetime  fantasy and has been a pleasant adjunct to my academic life. I am originally from Chicago, but lived most of my adult life in the D.C.  suburbs, where I raised three children and worked for the D.C. and  Federal Governments.

I am a lover of animals, birds, and the out of doors, and enjoy the company of children. Your co-hosts are an affectionate small dog, Levi, and a matched set of cats: Mari and Achi. I'm also a volunteer naturalist at Sabino Canyon Recreation area where you can enjoy free nature programs and guided hikes. 

I have studied in Mexico and Germany and traveled extensively--happily displaying my eclectic collection of art and craft items collected during my travels. As member of an international home exchange  club, I have exchanged hospitality with people from South Africa,  Sweden, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Denmark, Peru and Israel, as well as various cities in the U.S.

Having "done" Arizona from top to  bottom since moving to Tucson, I can direct you to wonderful outings and experiences here. I hope I will have that opportunity.

Life is uncertain...eat dessert first!
