Introduction This category always causes me to pause. What do I want the public (mostly my friends and family, but maybe the occasional random) to know about me; furthermore, how does one accurately describe something as complex as identity in 1200 characters or less?

Professionally, I'd say I'm a college instructor, but for 2010 I'm on a self-imposed sabbatical. I'm a daughter and a sister, though sometimes not a very good one. I love my cat, yet I worry that this makes me a crazy cat lady. I'm trying to be a writer. This blog is my internal babble...
