I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am now 42 years old...Yikes! Ouch! I can hardly believe it myself. I don't really feel it...well, sometimes...but I try hard not to act too old and decrepit! I am Extraordinarily, passionately partnered to Tom, who has shared my life for over 12 years. We met in December 1996, started living together within 3 months, and have never looked back. 5 years later, we had a commitment ceremony, and we will celebrate a dozen years together on December 11th. We have a great life together.For the past 11 years, I have worked at Eastern Monroe Public Library in Stroudsburg, PA. I am a Library Assistant, which means I have many jobs. My very favorite responsibility is the library's BOOKHOUSE cultural program. A great deal of work goes into it, and I am proud to say it's become a very successful and popular monthly entertainment series with considerable name recognition.Tom and I share our lives with our "boys"--our dog Scully, our cats Stevie and Chubbsy, and the latest addition to the brood--Mulder, a hyper-active basset hound with bladder control issues who came into our household on January 23rd, 2008!As an actor, I have performed onstage in close to 40 plays, ranging from NINE Neil Simon plays to works by Tennessee Williams, Shakespeare, Eugene O'Neill, and some by more contemporary writers, too. For several years, I was on the board of directors of Center Stage Players, Inc., a non-profit community theatre organization founded in 1990, and have performed in many CSP productions. I am blessed to be able to say I have done a great deal of work onstage that I am immensely proud of.Directed and performed in Terrence McNally's LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART in 2008, and in early 2009 directing Marsha Norman's Pulitzer Play 'NIGHT, MOTHER and performing in PIECES OF EVELYN by Betsy Jackson, both at Shawnee Playhouse.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I suppose I could come up with a few, but I have to say I have been incredibly blessed with the opportunity to meet and interact with many of the people I have admired throughout my life. A select few of the people I truly admire I am actually skittish about meeting because I fear they would disappoint me in person! That said, I can hardly believe the actual number of extraordinary people--many of them performing artis--whom I have had the privilege of meeting and telling to their faces how their work has affected and influenced me. I have met many of my heroes, and what a wonderful thing it is to be able to say that.

Labor Day, car repairs, new work schedule, auditions

It's Labor Day...a day which was always hell for me as a kid. I absolutely HATED school, especially in the elementary grades, when most days were little more than marathons of abuse from my fellow stu...

Does anyone out there love MEDIUM like we do?

I was so happy to read today that NBC has picked up Medium for a 5th season.  The only drawback to the announcement is that NBC will be holding it, as it did this year, as a mid-season offering, ...

From November 12th--but worth repeating...over and over...everyone should read it

This was posted on the website of Barbra Streisand back on November 12th. Conservatives generally hate and fear Streisand because she steadfastly refuses to SHUT UP AND SING...she constantly uses her ...
