Retired 7/1/20 as Art Critic @SFChronicle. Prior lives as an art college president and director of art museums. All my metaphors now derive from nature.

I'm a Sonoma County Master Gardener. Many interesting new acquaintances and one new close friend. And many one-off interactions with smart people.
