About This Lister

US:
Deborah—Native NY’er, physical comedian, clown, puppeteer, teacher--active in Arts in Healthcare and electoral politics
Garry—NY’er, artist/painter, boxer, originally from Tasmania

We are open-minded, considerate, and have a sense of humor. We are respectful of the need for privacy, yet we enjoy good conversations and good food around the table or in the yard.
 
We care for and clean this house, but we are not obsessive. We try to keep common areas clean and expect the same from you. We sometimes spread out with a project. Among our interests are art, theater, politics, movies, literature, gardening, sustainability. We are dedicated artists, which means we can get over-focused on our work. We love having musicians in the house; live music is welcome.

We cook regularly and eat out occasionally. We think like vegetarians, but occasionally eat chicken or fish. You might call us “opportunitarians.”
 
There are two parakeets who live in the large kitchen. They will endlessly amuse you.

We try to create a community feeling in the house; we occasionally eat, garden and co-work together. You are welcome to join in.

YOU: One person, Serious and ready to move.
Artist, Musician or Entrepreneur, mature, responsible, collaborative, with an interest in the arts and politics. Any gender or sexual identity. An interest in the garden is a plus. No smoking.

Looking forward to hearing from you, please tell us about yourself in your response.

Deborah (she/her) and Garry (he/him)
