I'd like to meet:

AUTHORS!

In fact, I collect autographed author photos. I've done this since I was a teen. But a hurricane destroyed my entire collection about 10 years ago. So I began again from scratch. If I am not reading, I can be found begging authors for autographed pictures. (Seriously.)

Are YOU listed in the LOCATE AUTHORS INDEX?


If not, send me all the names you write under and the URL to your personal/official site.

Music:



Books:

..Everything except non-fiction. Favorite is military sci-fi such as David Weber, Orson Scott-Card, and Robert A. Heinlein.

Been sick. Sorry I’ve neglected MySpace.

Ever date your own husband?

Another whole year before Halloween returns.

I never enjoy November First. It means that All Hallow's Eve is over for another long year. Since I always take off the entire week of Halloween, it also means that I have to go back to work soon. &nb...

Vacation is but two nights away!

Only two more nights of work before I begin my Halloween vacation! Nine nights to prowl the area, attack my husband, and just get into all sorts of mischief. During the days, I intend to begin a new P...

Mr. Sulu, from Star Trek (original) has an asteroid belt named after him!

Oh no! He is too good to have a simple comet named after him. He has an entire asteroid belt named after him. (I must admit he did a d*mn fine job acting in the original Star Trek series. Him and Lt. ...

Weird callers.

I worked on the switchboard in a hospital last night. Now, on third shift, I am used to weird calls. These calls are the norm during Hospital PMS week every month. For those of you who do not kno...

Beam Me Up, Scotty!

Anyone else hear about Scotty's ashes? (I heard it on CNN this morning as I was waiting for my car to be serviced.) They are launching them into space. (No kidding.) He is only one of 200 people's rem...

The FAKER showed up again.
