About Me

My ideal job involves learning about people and cultures, researching, and writing; so naturally, I type medical reports for a living. I think babies can be cute, but kittens make me downright giddy. I refer to our two cats as my son and my daughter. Improper grammar hurts my ears, and I live in a REALLY BAD area for such things. I guarantee that whatever else changes in this crazy world, Richard Marx music will be on my iPod. Learning is my hobby, and I'll be paying for it for the next 20 to 30 years, with interest. That's the abridged version.
