Native Californian and currently Owner and Operator of Massage By Blair (for sciatica, IT Band and other healing of aches and pains). My husband of 12+ years is Mark. I love hiking, Odd Object Lifting, Kettle Bells, Clipper Cutting (I do a mean military cut) Rugby (I watch nowadays as I had a Rugby accident that put me on the sidelines) Disneyland pass holder. I love people watching, Apple Gadgets, listening to super cool podcasts, movies and TV, reading on my Kindle, and although a bit of a home body we love road trips and various fun things. I’m a bit like Adam Ant, ‘don’t drink, don’t smoke, subtle innuendo’ but we still have fun and hopefully 2013 we will go to Burning Man.

In case there isn’t a link…which I thought I entered… but doesn’t seem to show…
here it is.
