About Me

I am the last one out of the fallen House of Usher.

My Interests

Mrs. Skeffington(pictured below)...
...won a date wit A. Blainard, Blaney, at the annual Luncheon for Jilted Flappers and Widows of very little Financial Reward(poor ducks)and had the temerity to ask his nibs, on their dream date at 21, what the golly-heck his interests were! And so I replied:Charity(of course!) * Victrola Dance Parties * Ferris Wheel Rides wit my beloved Sarah-bear (psst! there's nuthin like makin' out at the apex of a big colourful wheel spin!) * Talking to the Dead * Chess * Crossword Puzzles * Secret Societies * Secret Passageways in old houses * Going to the Pictures in the middle of a work day * Reading Keats at a Redskin game * the lawn sports: badminton and croquet, or sometimes I will put on a straw hat and blazer and jump over a few chairs!

I'd like to meet:
