| Introduction | I am a Baby Boomer & moved to Hartford, CT in late September 2009 after 23 yrs in Boston, MA. I'm now "retired" & writing full-time. A long-time political activist since my teens, I've been Roman Catholic by choice since age 25. For the past 11 years, I've been on a Gluten-Free diet due to Celiac Disease. I love cats, folk music, & the Boston Red Sox. Before the end of this year (2011), I plan to move back to the san Francisco Bay Area where I lived from 1974 thru August 1987. |
