NEW ACCOUNT, since diasp.org will be closing. You may already know me. 😀

Nerdy information junkie at heart with a lifelong fear of being perceived as “ordinary.” I love life, beauty and all things weird and wonderful.

MUSIC: As a singer I love most kinds of music. I listen to 60’s-70’s roots and prog rock, blues, folk, classical, jazz, British folk rock, Celtic New Age and Renaissance rock. I am a huge Ritchie Blackmore (Rainbow and Blackmore’s Night) and Jethro Tull fan. I also love Apocalyptica.

NERDY STUFF, SCI-FI & FANTASY: Doctor Who, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Dune or Asimov, I’m all over it. (Favorite movie of all time: “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension”)

CATHOLIC STUFF: Direct Catholic-bashing is very hurtful. You do you, but if you say you oppose hate, please don’t hate on people of faith.

VISUAL ART, PHOTOGRAPHY, ANTIQUES, VINTAGE: I collect Art Deco, vintage art pottery and jewelry, anything 1950’s-60’s, and vintage illustration art. I love all things visual - art, photographs, anything retro, creative or quirky.

WORDS, BOOKS, LITERARY STUFF: I was an English major (concentration in Milton and the 17th Century Metaphysical Poets) and taught freshman rhetoric, poetry, drama and fiction classes in grad school. I have written articles for blogs, magazines, newsletters and have had one book published and contributed to several collections.

THE FINE PRINT: All I want from anyone on social networks is friendship. Please don’t get flirty with me. If you are “hunting” you should know that I am NOT. I had the ultimate romantic relationship with an extraordinary man. He died. That is all.

Because the agency that is tracking climate change now can't talk about it or fund studies...


There goes NOAA

With NOAA goes the National Weather Service. So, no more daily forecasts.

No heat warnings, no tornado warnings, no hurricane warnings, no freeze warnings, no tsunami warnings, no advisories about El Nino ...

Guess I'd better find a way to watch Cuban tv for hurricane forecasts
