About me

Gender Female
Location Arkansas, United States
Introduction I am as young as the loveliest wishes in my heart and as old as the unfulfilled longings of my life. *quoted from "Between Animal and Man" by Dr. Michael Fox and attributed to an unidentified Aboriginal elder upon introduction to the author. It stuck with me when I first read it in the 1970's and now it applies to me. I have been known as mama pajama online on various forums since June 1999 where some of these essays first appeared. This blog name was chosen by votes in a contact submitted contest to name my original mama's pajama party blog in 2005 on Yahoo360's defunct forum.
