Words to Go

January 1, 2006

We live in interesting times.

Perhaps I should introduce myself. I am female way over the age of consent. In my life I have been a daughter, a friend, a cousin. I have been a student and love learning still.

I live in the Heart of Dixie. The climate is moderate. My natural surroundings are beautiful. I love animals, cats in particular, but dogs are nice, too. I love nature and movies and music (jazz, show tunes, some pop music of eras gone by) and some people. I love the ocean and the mountains, have yet to see the desert firsthand. And my soda of the moment is Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.

I have gone to school long enough to get a Master's Degree in Library Science. And even worked as a librarian for over ten years (including the student work I did as a teenager). I have owned a small business (which went bust way before I was ready to give it up) and had some of the best months of my life working fourteen hour days.

I'm currently employed by a manufacturer of high voltage testing equipment. You could say I like to live dangerously. Others would say I play it too safe with my life. Both would be right.

My biggest challenge at this point in time: learning to live in the here and now. As life grows shorter, I find this to be of more value.

Do you think there will be a day when humans move beyond print? Do you think there will be day when animals -- say other primates -- move up to the printed word to communicate?

The purpose of my blog is to communicate. If you wish to comment, I ask only that you please refrain from cussing too much. Excess can be so boooorrrinnng.

Feel free to free associate. Amuse me, because I surely love to laugh. Talk seriously at me. Teach me something.
