One of my favorite Movies:

“Harvey and I sit in the bars, have a drink or two, play the jukebox. And soon their faces turn toward mine and smile.”

~ Elwood P. Dowd
from the Pulitzer Prize-winning play- Harvey

I love:
Painting with Mary Cassatt

or standing in the garden at Thornfield.

l write memoirs, personal essays, and movie blogs – I am a published writer, online and in print. My personality is a bit like Spanky from The Little Rascals so I’ll probably tell you what I think. I love humor added as a spice to everything. I love heavenly fragrances and film noir.  I’ve enjoyed over 37 live-stage musicals and/or Broadway plays. I write, sing, (used to) play piano, and memorize “stand up”. I am obsessed with culture, Christian apologetics, photography, and digital painting. I am blessed to have had the luxury of traveling when I was younger. My most memorable destination: a Hong Kong border town just inside China where a bunch of little kids stood around as I made and then gave away several Polaroid pictures of them. I wish now I had a photo proof of doing that. 

When gaming stores were more popular, while surfing Nintendo games, I occasionally freaked out 12-year-olds when overhearing them playing a demo. Me: whispering, “You can’t beat that boss… with that weapon.” Now, I’m a gamer logged into wifi 2 different platforms. On my PS5  I go by “MightBeeYRm0m” where I fight pretty fierce so you might want me as an ally—but because more importantly, at heart, I love to heal people.

I hate ants in my kitchen.

I am not scared of cancer. I AM afraid of cancer treatment.
