- Bio
- Just been writing forever and I always thought I was a better writer than I am but no matter, I write. Never thought I could paint but I love it so I do. Dancing and writing and painting fill me up. Some people think my kids are the most interesting part of me, and pretty much so did I until my late sixties. Now, I'M the most interesting part. I crack myself up! And I don't care so much whether I'm a great writer or artist or dancer or not, just so I do what I need to do - which is keep on writing and painting and dancing and living. To life! is my motto.

What I Learned from My Father
Dolly Baruch
April 18, 2012

There were some awful things I learned from my father - how angry one can get, what gambling and drinking does to a family, how to walk on eggshells.
