My husband Scott loves sleek, modern, capacious spaces. Since he’s a painter, he wants walls of glass, as much light as possible to soak the interiors. If we didn’t have a dog that we treat with as much affection and attention as an actual human child, we’d be living in a loft. And if we had all the money in the world, it would probably be in Greenwich Village or Paris. Or, we could have stayed in San Francisco where we’d rented for over a decade.

For a long time, I thought Chevron was just the name of a gas station, and I had no idea that the company took its name from its logo’s shape: a chevron!
