# AI Context for Marcia Formica

## Profile
- Name: Marcia Formica
- About me: I am an evolving experiment in self\-actualization. After a 31\+ year corporate career, I ditched my suits and pumps and finally tumbled into my “why” in the fall of 2018. 

My first \(possibly only?!\) book, "Zen \(and Rage\) and the Art of a Never\-Ending Home Renovation," was published in December of 2021. It is a humorous and sometimes harrowing account of surviving, and even thriving through, a decade\-plus home renovation project being jointly delivered by my husband and me, with an occasional few contractors and \(sometimes more than\) a little help from our friends. I continue to share the ongoing saga on my Hump\-Day House Stuff posts.

My passion for the links between food and public and environmental health can be found in my "Food Friday" posts. For fun \(and profit\), I am a practitioner of value investing and disciplined trading strategies.

I've been on the adventure of marriage to my husband Tim since 1993. We have 2 \(arguably\) grown sons, James and Owen, and the best family \(including my mom & dad, whose care I'm helping with, which I also blog about in Mom & Dad Monday\) and friends I could ever have imagined for myself.
