About me

Gender Female
Location Anna Maria Island, Florida, United States
Introduction Closet curmudgeon/ENTP/Leo/mom of Libbyllama and Juancho. Grew up in unglaciated Allegheny Plateau country of Southern Ohio, running around the multi-cultural campus of Ohio U. Wound up a Floridian, now living in Yucatan, Mexico. A 5% fit wherever I am, but a 99th percentile speller.
Interests Find personal peace in a busy mind, my family, the English language, my Mac, trying to become fluent in Spanish, my blind shih tzu Lou Boo, my high-maintenance husband's well-being, reading GOOD books, and hanging out with the very few people I love.
Favorite Movies The 1966 movie, The Trap, with Rita Tushingham and Oliver Reed, Shawshank Redemption, Antonia's Line--ask me when I'm not having a sr. moment.
Favorite Music Elvis, of course - especially his gospels. And Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, John Prine, Guy Clark, Iris DeMent, and now Paul Potts who warms my cold heart with his opera and humility.
Favorite Books Small Wonder and other Barbara Kingsolver, The Night Country by Loren Eiseley, Katherine, and John Grisham and Carl Hiassen for fun. Oh, and Randy Wayne White because he put me as a character in Twelve Mile Limit. :) And since you didn't ask, my favorite poem is "Renascence" by Edna St. Vincent Millay although her sonnets are right in there, too!

Oscillate my metallic sonatas with your plan for the Panama canal:

Run a car ferry through it and over to Cartagena. I've had it with the Darien Gap preventing me from driving to South America.
