| Introduction | I was born in Minneapolis the daughter of a union worker and a Catholic, country girl. I married a rock musician (unfashionably) 1n 1978 and have lived in both San Francisco, CA and St. Louis, MO. My childhood was defined by beatings that taught me one salient fact: I am not a dog. I was born into a blue collar home. Now, I am just "blue" in my politics. I have two intelligent children attending university and I am worried for their future, as well as ours. I love America because it is a great country founded on the ideals of common cause and common good. I wonder if we will still be a great country for my grandchildren? Will my children and their children be slaves to war and poverty? Is success collecting a paycheck from one global multi-national corporation and sending that money, via another check, to other multi-national global corporations? Is your only choice, as George Carlin put it, between paper and plastic? Well, maybe it's age rage or maybe it is simply time to pay attention and form your own opinions. |
| Interests | World politics, music, interior design, real estate, kids, learning, critters-cats, dogs, fish, birds. Internet usage and liberty for all. How public money can be used for the public good. |
| Favorite movies | A Thousand Clowns, Apocalyse Now, The Postman, Chinatown, anything by Hitchcock, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Independence Day, ...anything with a decent plot and character development that adds perspective to my aging visual panorama. |
| Favorite music | Go back to the late sixties and early 70's and listen to album radio until about 1985. MOST of it is pretty good. I do love some stuff I hear today. But, I can't remember the groups or artists anymore. It's old age i am told. Just give me a good blues shuffle and it's all good. |
| Favorite books | urr, let's talk authors: agatha christe, ann rule, harlan coben, kurt vonnegart, issac assimov, willie the shake, voltiare, margaret atwood, madison, franklin, jefferson, (you get the drift)... |
