About Me
Mid-life has found me. I'm trying to learn how to draw and paint. I drew that eye up there. I bought a violin and would like to learn how to play and compete at fiddler's conventions. I'm reading fiction again after a long hiatus. I'm ready for cooler weather so I can go prowl some old cemeteries. Happily married to a writer-film critic-metaphilosopher, and a calico cat named Scamper. Life is good, wish I were financially independent, but who doesn't? I no longer have to commute to Winston for work. I like pie.
Foxes are clever and tigers are cunning. So, what's your cat's safety school?
Scamper's safety school is her immense beauty and her ability to critique film. And her yowling. And that thing she does with the blue blanket.
