BIO
Biography
In my life: Columnist, feature writer & ironist (Toronto Star, Globe & Mail, New York Post, Agence France-Presse, Paris) based in 4 countries & 2 continents...Onetime ad exec, copywriter, jingle composer...TV host (CBOT, Ottawa)...9-song 3-chord folk strummer (I once opened for Bill Cosby at the Purple Onion in Toronto, loooong before either he or I were notorious)...
I'm the first of the 4 privileged children of Martin & Rose Kastner (joyous high-flyers, writers, artists-at-life, translators of Bertolt Brecht)...and am mom of high-flying doc-maker son Jamie....I'm blogging intermittently (a sample link below) -- and then, there's my avocation: serial marrier (working on a standup version of that).
