I have a green card, my escape, and i'll leave the door unlocked, aye.i love to read (mostly fiction by women), write (mostly stream of conciousness), have a published piece about my union work in a text on organizing faculty in higher education. i've been in the trenches for years, driving around southern california, and around, and around....I founded a nonprofit organization a few years back.....check out the website: lhac.org we are going to be updating it soon.... We work with inner city kids in arts education.
