Hmmm. I work for myself. I write training manuals to help accountants learn software that allows them to create their companies' financial statements. I've worked with this software for 20 years. Oh yeah, I'm a CPA. My clients are all over the country; I used to hop a plane to go teach them live and in person, but I burned myself out. Now if/when I consult, it's mostly remote.

Recently I've been shaking things up—working less, volunteering more. I just took a French class. I like to think I'm French but really I'm about half Cajun. Trying to make seafood gumbo like my grandfather did (I'm lucky enough to own his big cast iron skillet), but it's not a pretty sight. Family calls me "Train Wreck In The Kitchen" and "Hurricane Lenoir". C'est la vie. (Apparently I'm much better at Management Reporter.)

I collect those beautiful round tops that live on top of champagne corks but under the wire hood. I drink the champagne just so it doesn't go to waste. Love Austin's fantastic live music and dancing within walking distance of home. Love New Orleans—art, history, architecture, music, food, drink, dance, people, fun. Sazerac in a go cup, meow!

No spring chicken. Aggie. Addicted to NFL but trying to quit (sigh). Fun facts from my tour of Cowboys Stadium (halfway down page). Have a way cool handsome husband of many years and 3 kitties, 2 of whom are rescues. Animal lover. Volunteer for Austin Pets Alive!, the organization that makes it possible for Austin to be the largest no-kill city in the country.

Wish I could sing like Ella. Unfortunately, I sing more like Lucy. Cheers y'all! —janlenoir
