Introduction	Mom of JR (b.8/07), BG (baby girl--7/09), wife of T, reader, writer, former English teacher. I'm observing life "from the cheap seats" and living via my personal philosophy of "thriving in anonymity." I write for JR, BG and sometimes I write for me. For that, I make no apologies. This space, my space, my blog . . . is in the constant state of evolution. Please bear with me.

Shakespeare, James, Morrison, Dickinson, Eliot, Langston Hughes, Dickens, Swift, Didion, Divakaruni, Krakauer, Austen, Chopin, Fitzgerald, Shirley Jackson, Hurston, Hemingway, Flannery O'Connor, Lessing, Melville (yes, except for the overly descriptive whaling chapter in Moby Dick), Poe, Oates, Munro, Tan, Walker, Woolf . . . Engaging, thoughtful, witty, powerful prose . . . that's all I ask.

The wicked backspin caught you off guard. How will you play it off without losing your footing?

Act like I meant to do it all along.
