| Introduction | I am a n'er-do-well, who failed to live up to her potentials, according to some... but naturally I smile, daily, in knowing that I am happy. I have enjoyed the ultimate past-time, with the ultimate treasures of life... my two wonderfully unique children, now fully grown and fully flown, with independent minds, thus I feel no one's success exceeds, that which I enjoy as mine... :) While I sometimes might feel like and certaintly look like, Hades-on-a-Rope, in having survived colon cancer, I can't bemoan the consequences of reconstruction, which removed my backdoor and installed a patio door at the side, in its stead... too terribly seriously... :) I enjoy genealogy and where the pursuit thereof leads me... I am amazed and delighted to notice all the wonderous talents of my children and that of all their equally awesome cousins... :) |
| Interests | Family, Critters, Talents |
| Favorite Movies | I like movies... Netflix and Redbox are my "other location" shelves that warehouse some of my favorites... I like Sci-Fi, Period Pieces, Independent Films, Foreign Films, Our American Classics, Musicals like Phantom of the Opera which make you cry... or at least make me cry... I loved that scene in "A Man From Snowy River" where the young wrangler road his brombie, down the embankment in slo-mo"... it was of course contrived but awesome! I totally leaned back and enjoyed the ride! :) |
| Favorite Music | I like just about all kinds... from the oldies to what came out today... except for Jazz... which for the most part seems un-natural to me... and I don't like rap, unless the words are discernible, the tune is catchy, and what is said is not too disturbing, ridiculous or otherwise mean... I actually prefer melodies ... and I enjoy ballads (which rap attempts to become but is too uptight to touch my spirit in the same way)... and I even like the music orchestrated in nature... :) |
| Favorite Books | After exhausting the Hardy Boys series, I moved on to Nancy Drew... then every Horse & Dog adventure that ever went to print... and then I discovered the Classics... Ivanhoe, Three Musketeers, Robinson Cursoe, Robin Hood, Moby Dick, Little Women, Jane Eyre, etc... and it did not matter whether the librarian believed I was really reading them in the third grade or not... because I knew that I was and I know that they have left a lot of 'stuff' that contributes to my moral compass, in the files of the consciousness, that is me... :) The Holy Bible is not my idea of a favorite book... at all... but.. I do admit that I really enjoy the provocativeness of the parables, which reveal so much that is 'relative' ... and like myself, so much more than meets the eye! :) |
