I live in Manila, a tiny town on the north spit between the Pacific Ocean and Humboldt Bay in Northern California with my husband, children, cats and dog. I do lots of stuff: radio, writing, working on ocean-related political and environmental issues. Try to surf. My son has Type 1 diabetes. We’re doing okay.
