| Location | Wherever I am, there I be, Washington D.C. Area, United States |
| Introduction | I'm a Journalist. Don't worry, no one knows my name outside of my family, friends and those with whom I work. All I want to do here is write my piddly thoughts with the hope that someone reads them and fails to fall asleep. I'm not all fancy-scmancy. A simple person with regular human complexities. I'm just me, and I'm a work in progress. |

| Favorite movies | sound of music, good will hunting, la vita e bella, como aqua para chocolate, maria full of grace, motorcycle diaries (i'm getting the feeling that i like movies with subtitles...), something new, the constant gardner... and a bunch of others |
| Favorite music | hoorah for black folks who like country and aren't afraid to show it, blast it in their cars, or sing to it with the windows rolled down!, classical, some alternative, r & b, gospel, contemporary christian, anything by greg and hap palmer... (this should tell you something about the age group I teach) |

Lionesses have no manes. How do they know when they've grown up?
They get jobs and start paying bills to Savannah Gas and Electric and Pride Rock Mortgage Co. They also come down with LMS once a month (the lioness version of PMS).
