Welcome to my website

and

greetings from the original poster child for birth control...

My mother very affectionately tells people that she gave up trying to tell me what to do when I was about 12 years old.  She claims that the beat of some different drummer that her only daughter and youngest child heard was more like full symphony.  My version of the same story is that I developed a very strong sense of self at a young age.  I had things to do, places to go and people to see.  In other words, at 12 when I volunteered to stuff envelopes and hang campaign posters for a Democratic hopeful, my Republican family just shook their heads and hoped I would eventually come to my senses.  

THANK GOD,I NEVER DID!!!
