Where ktcosmos came from:

Burlington, Iowa, where I got my love of baseball, homegrown tomatoes and raspberries. I somehow ended up in Prescott, Arizona in about 1984. More than 50 years now separate that “little me” seen in the photo in the upper left hand corner from the the grownup Arizona gal I am now (seen right).

Known as ktcosmos (my very first online moniker, chosen on the fly in 1994) online, in person I go by Katie, Mom, Mamaw (grandma), Yollama, Sweetie, McMahon, or Momarazzi, depending on who you’re talking to. By the way, you can contact me at ktcosmos-at-Looseends-dot-net. (You’ll figure that email address out and maybe the spammers won’t.)

How ktcosmos brings home the bacon:

Connecting the threads of my well-enjoyed life today involves a rollicking combination (rivalry?!) of family time and office time: I oversee two businesses: Loose Ends, a Virtual Assistance company, and a community website about my town, Prescott Arizona, and I enjoy co-management of AZVAs, a virtual watercooler which brings entrepreneurs together with small business owners.

What ktcosmos likes:
In between work and family activities, and to help keep it all in perspective there’s a lot of knitting, photography, hiking, kayaking, racquetball, reading, caffeine consumption, and, yes, baseball.

In the fifties, I watched the Burlington Bees, seated behind home with my Grandpa. Today I keep tabs on my youngest son, who is a professional baseball player, from the same spot in the stands.

Back in the fifties, I had a snowcone in my hands at the ballpark. Today, my knitting needles occupy my hands before the game—NEVER during, when I simply sit back and watch.

How to reach ktcosmos:

Loose Ends is located in Prescott, Arizona, in the Southwestern United States. While I’m at work most of the time, my work takes me hither and yon and in between. You will find it easiest to reach me by email.
