Lindsay Petersen is a native of Leeds, Alabama, where she grew up feeling she had been born a century too late – and likely even in the wrong Leeds.
She's lived all over the world, but most enjoyed Paris, where she studied the French allure of l'amour, and Delhi where she won a coveted first in her studies of the Kama Sutra, excelling especially in her lab work.
Since her glory days in academia she has focused her impressive energies on motorcars, gourmanderie, oenology, and expressing the muses of poetry, song and dance. Of her paintings it's been said that they're worth a million words. Those who read her prose value her words more than a thousand pictures ("Math can be a challenge!" she smiles).
As a sideline she extensively investigated emollients, trying to determine just how soft her skin could be ("Wonderfully so!" exclaims her husband) in her monograph, "Fifty Grades of Shea."
Lindsay's exploits are hardly unique in her family. Legend has it that it was her great-grandmother Thelma who suggested to Coco Chanel some changes to Chanel Number 4. The rest, as they say, is history. Should you meet her uncle ask him for the tale of Formula 408.
So finely tuned are Lindsay's senses of taste and smell that, when laboratories find spectroscopes need calibration, Lindsay is called in because extraordinary perceptions are recognized worldwide as the benchmark for spectroscopes. It has even been proposed that their sensitivity be denoted in 'petersens.'
She lives and travels with her husband, who called himself "the luckiest man in the world." Lindsay Petersen agrees with him.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience! Adventure you'll never forget! View the solar eclipse in the Wild West! Irresistible – to some.
In 1878 the shadow of the American Eclipse's s path was predicted to sweep from Alaska southeast across the Rocky Mountains, promising an enthralling event guaranteed to strike envy into the hearts of the less adventurous for the rest of your life. But how to get to the edge of the frontier safely?
Victoria Bearskin of the Wyandotte tribe, although a student in Vassar's astronomy program, is forbidden to go with the official expedition. Nofina Nolana, an oyster pirate scoundrel from San Francisco drunkenly orders his crew to hijack a boat to Juneau – which boat turns out to be Captain Nemo's long-lost Nautilus submarine. From New Orleans Lurie and Clark ride paddle steamers up the mighty rivers of America's heart, racing to preserve images of the event.
While all eyes look ahead to their sweet moments in moonshadow they overlook chance encounters with bad men, big animals and birthin' babies. After all that, who would emerge from the mad gambles?
All learn there are no promises in this life, but there are second chances, and new beginnings are often born from once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
