Places I've been

By last count, I'd visited more than half of the states, but so far have ventured out of the country once - a brief but memorable trip to Montreal. Oui, oui! Recent sojourns include trips to Minnesota's North Shore; Austin, Texas ; Oahu & Kauai ; Yellowstone National Park & Little Big Horn Battlefield; Tampa, FL; San Francisco & Marin County.

More about me

A little fancy from the Plains. 

 

Recently liberated from the dual roles of child tormentor/caregiver (parent) & wage slave, I am reveling in my newfound freedom by pursuing a formal education in the liberal arts, trying my fledgling hand at writing poetry, and simply living simply.
