Introduction I live with a roommate, 2 cats, a dog, and my mom, who turned 91 on Valentine's day '08 and is the inspiration for this blog. Motherhood has brought me boundless joy--thank you, Alison. And be prepared--someday you may be the one writing posts about me.
Interests Read, write, repeat
Favorite Movies The Big Chill, Waiting for Guffman, Sometimes a Great Notion, Love and Pain and the Whole Damn Thing, The Great Escape, African Queen, and there are more.
Favorite Music '60s Motown, REM, Anne Murray, Jim Croce, Harmony (Mary and Robert Gillihan and Dave Smith), Willie Nelson, and so much more.
Favorite Books How about favorite authors? Bill Bryson, for instance. And Elizabeth Berg, who I'd like to invite over for dinner. And Haven Kimmel, who I thought I would like but I've heard she's snippy. And Margaret Atwood. Annie Dillard, Colleen McCollough (that isn't spelled right--I'm going to go look it up).

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?

There's no way I could, or would, avoid laughing. First of all, I love the word poop. Secondly, I think it would be pretty funny to be a 60 year old female, anglo-saxon, pirate. If I didn't want to laugh, I'd have to substitute another word for poop, like doo-doo.
