About Me

I am a publicist and writer from New York who has worked for several major publications. I love genealogy, reading, traveling, shopping, eating out, and just being among good friends, like my "BFF", BadLady404. I am semi-retired and taking care of my elderly mother which is a full-time job. But I love her and she has done the same for me. PS - I'll put up my photo as soon as i figure how to use this new digital camera!
