I adore music; nearly all kinds of good music...some music should have stayed home.

My grandmother taught piano. My father played piano. My mother played piano and violin. I played piano and cello. My brother played saxophone (my favorite instrument) and clarinet. My sister played bassoon.

My cello was made in 1789 in Marseilles France. It had peg holes from being strapped to the back and marched through the streets. The neck broke off every winter. I lost it to a friend. I wish everyone were honest but they are not.

I love to sing, dance and enjoy nearly all of the arts and all of nature.

I am 56, happily married to a doubly-disabled man, both mentally with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and physically with constant bone pain from a botched spinal surgery for scoliosis. They did not expect him to live but he did This was nearly 40 years ago. This type of surgery was then ditched and the medical records have been destroyed.

I am an activist and an Internet writer. I am a green thumb gardener. I am a working woman. I am a pacifist and a dreamer.
