About Me

I am a writer, a teacher, a mother, and a wife. My greatest fear is "seeing the moment of my greatness flicker" (TS Eliot: "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock"), so I desperately blow on my small embers, trying to create a flame.

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

Don't you know better than to put money in your mouth? It's because pennies are coppery, and copper tastes like blood.
