| Introduction | I am a sober alcoholic, grandmother, looooongterm wife,mother,sister,friend, gardener, reader, lover of language, jazz, piano, jazz piano. I am amateur photographer, in love with light, texture, color. I love the truth that art of all kinds tells. I am not a critic (Iknownothing) but I know what it is to love a piece and believe what it is telling me. I love to laugh, and I often think I am hilarious and witty as all get out. I often laugh out loud at what I am reading or at what someone says (at lectures, in the library, on the street -- just about anywhere that absurdity or delight strikes me.) I am so grateful to be alive and decently-well, and loved and loving. I am not fond of frauds, of any kind. I believe that if you want to know what is important to a person, you should watch what she does and how she lives. Cats.... love them too, at any stage of their lives. |

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?
The moisture smoothes the rough edges of my voice. Appreciative audience.
