About Me

Jenny F. Scientist: Mountain City, Rural South, United States; I'm a Southerner who has moved back to the Rural South; my spouse has just gotten the golden ring (a tenure-track job); deeply tired of being ill. I knit, I write, I bake things that won't kill me. I make - and wear! - ridiculous hats.
