| Introduction | Writing poetry is a way for me to express both my joy and my pain. Love it or hate it, you will get a fairly good dose of it here on my new blog, unless I find that posting it here sacrifices my first publisher’s rights. That would be a source of vexation. I am a true bibliophile with a nice personal library. If I like a book, I must own it. The only things I truly don’t like to read are romance novels. Otherwise, I read authors such as Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Lee Child, James Grisham, Patricia Caldwell plus many, many more. Janet Evanovich makes me howl. My taste is truly eclectic. The night seems to have more room for me so I generally go to bed when the rest of the world might be waking up at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning. That is when I read for hours. My service/working dog awakens me everyday at the crack of noon. This is fine; he does not buzz, rattle or shriek into my ear from some mechanical apparatus; he awakens me quite gently with either a few little whimpers, a soft lick of the tongue or, when desperate, a quiet little wolf. Character limit says you have suffered enough. |
| Interests | Reading, which I could follow with ditto marks because I do a lot of it. Writing as Muse and Inspiration flows, History, Poetry, People, Spending Money Foolishly |
| Favorite Movies | Not Without My Daughter, Out of Africa, It's a Beautiful Life, City of Joy. I don't watch movies because I have to sit directly in front of the screen and no one can see through me. Then there is the hassle of cleaning bodily fluids from the screen where my nose bumped against it. I don't own a television but I do enjoy watching House, the CSI programs and Bones on my computer. |
| Favorite Music | Pop, Smooth Jazz, R&B - Just about anything but old country and western. Hank Williams Sr. Bill Anderson and Johnny Cash make me want to puke and there is another mess. |
| Favorite Books | The Intellectual Life, A Fine Balance, How We Die, Gaawwddd, there are far too many to list. If you really want to know visit the Shelfari web site and check out my virtual bookcase. |
