| Occupation | Librarian (Yup, that makes me a Libra Librarian) |
| Location | Whitefish, Montana, United States |
| Introduction | Until May 1, 2010, I worked as a librarian with San Diego Public Library in San Diego, California. I resolved to return to my beloved Rockies. June 26, 2010, I arrived at my place in beautiful Whitefish, Montana, which from now on I'll be calling home. I have been, and will most likely continue to be, a theater geek. I worked as a semi-professional actor/singer throughout the Seventies and Eighties, but chose to find a more "stable" career in order to feed and clothe myself. The librarian gig was SUPPOSED to be my day job so that I could perform at night. After thirteen years, I've yet to take on another performance gig. Recently I got a new guitar and, as soon as I get a couple of songs under my belt, want to do an open mike night somewhere ~ perhaps at some coffeehouse in the Flathead Valley! |
