About Me

I have worked at a University for over 20 years as a Graphic Designer. My first computer was an Apple. My first office job was at a suburban newspaper. My very first job was as a day-care worker in the two-year old's room. I attend a Unitarian Universalist church in Atlanta. I have two grown sons 23 and 22. The youngest has autism. I hope to use Swapbot to stimulate me creatively. I've attempted doing "The Artist's Way" several times and haven't finished it yet.

Favorite Music

I like all types of music. My favorite often depends on my mood. I always enjoy what is classified as Alt-Country, Alt-Folk and Americana. I love Lucinda Williams.

Favorite Books

Is this favorite books of all time or what I'm reading presently? At present, I enjoy an author that I wasn't aware of before. She is fairly prolific. Her name is Elizabeth Berg. I was introduced to her through her best selling book of essays, "The Day I Ate Everything I Wanted". After reading it, I explored her other writings and have now completely depleted the works. I am also reading the second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series that the HBO series "True Blood" is based on. Alice Hoffman's writings are something that I have recently discovered and have just finished "Skylight Confessions" after reading "The Third Angel."

Favorite Television

HBO's "Six Feet Under" Now enjoying "True Blood" produced by the same producer/director -- Alan Ball I also am a fan of "Mad Men" and look forward to it's third season. Boston Legal Those are a few.

Favorite Crafts

I like all types of crafts. I like to write poetry--particularly haiku. I want to start back doing some sewing this year and am interested in quilting as an art form. I am also pretty proficient at crochet, learned string by doing Christmas ornaments to give for gifts, but haven't done it recently.

Favorite Movies

My favorite movie of all time is "Auntie Mame." I recently read that Scarlett Johansson also adores this movie. http://www.observer.com/2008/did-auntie-mame-fanatic-scarlett-johansson-buy-2-1-m-penthouse-greenhouse

Favorites

Love Pablo Neruda and the movie "Il Postino"

Comment: Lovely picture and haiku. Thank you.
Response: Thanks, I was giving that haiku some thought when I went for an early morning walk several weeks ago. Thanks for the heart. I'm really new to this. I'm especially enthralled by ATCs.
