    About me

    I'm active mentally and physically. In that stage of reassessing things, ready to reclaim some parts of myself that dropped away to make room for the neccessities of raising and supporting my children and dealing with 3 failed marriiages.  Three months into  this i'm finding discussions here a big help in redefining myself. Not surprisingly the most difficult discussions have been the most illuminating, of both other people's natures and my own.

    I've always been someone who faced their fears head on. I will not age 'gracefully' i will hike and dance into the final stages. I will laugh at myself and the absurdity of human foibles. I meditate daily, and St. Francis's prayer (Lord, let me be an instrument of thy peace) is part of my morning ritual reminding me what kind of person i'm striving to be.

    Who is the most interesting person you have ever met?

    This is hard...i've led a 'chinese curse' life and have met so many interesting people (well known and otherwise). Some of the people i knew in high school and right after are scientists and artists. Some of the ones out of the limelight were more interesting than the 'famous' ones by virtue of their capacity to relate to others, their altruism, or their egos...while i didn't keep them in my life and wouldn't want them back in my life they would enliven works of fiction.

    Now that you are over 50, what are you doing that you never thought you would?

    Nothing....i was always open to life, even if i drew inward for various periods. I've been at the same job for almost 6 years...and that kind of amazes me..i worked office temps for over 10 years for the freedom to travel around the country and the challenge of learning new things.

    4 - 6

    Bachelor's/Associate's Degree

    A world tour of sites with special meaning to me. It would include Ireland, Wales and Hungary---because they're where my grandparents immigrated from. But i'd also love to see Stonehenge, Mt. Fugi, the Gate of the Sun at Lake Titicata, Jerusalem, the Sphinx & Pyramids. Then i'd need a week here at home to process it all to decompress.

    Where were you born?

    Tampa, Florida. USA...but lived in Gibsontown my first year (with all the circus sideshow folk)and then in Ruskin, Fl until i was 9. I've now lived in Wyoming continuously longer than i have anywhere else...and sincerely doubt i'd live elsewhere again...might visit but not move anywhere else.
