OK, so in my laptop PICTURES file, there's only one of me in 9th grade, playing the lead in Victor Herbert's THE RED Mill as I sing the song, "Every Day Is Ladies' Day for Me"... I may fix that. I'm now, OMG, 65 years old, I live in Walnut Creek, CA USA, in the SF Bay area, and I currently write in the mornings and in the afternoons, most of the year, work as a preschool teacher at the Meher/White Pony Schools near here. I've been writing for more than 40 years! My poems, stories, essays, and reviews have appeared in GLOW INTERNATIONAL, LOVE STREET BREEZES, OM-POINT INTERNATIONAL, THE BROKEN-DOWN FURNITURE NEWS, THE MINDFUL WORD, MAGICAL BLEND, and elsewhere.
