About Me

I like people but not too many of 'em at once. Then I become somewhat reclusive and need time to myself. During these moments and pretty much whenever else I can, I love hanging out with my cat, Abbie. She really gets me. For a long time we were roomies, just Abbie and me, and well, we have a connection that's real neat. I enjoy spending time with special people. I have several in my life, and several is more than I could have ever asked for. People who understand you are hard to come by, and I can't think of a better evening than, say, putting together a puzzle with one of them, smiling, singing, and probably drinking some wine or something. Life's good. Sometimes it's better than other times, but I'm not complaining.
