- Bio
- Married for thirty six years and the mother of the two grown children, I began writing at the age of ten. My first success was winning a poetry contest in grammar school. From that moment forward, I realized that the written word was as vital to my survival as food and air. I am presently working on two books, one of which I hope to finish before I die. A number of my poems have graced A Long Story Short, and I have been published in the Lucidity Journal. Each day inspires me...what I see, hear and experience.... if it stays in my mind, I write about it. __________________________________________

Should We Lobotomize Our Supreme Court Justices
The Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, is considering a ruling that would limit and, perhaps, abolish, life sentences for teenagers found guilty of crimes that do not involve murder. They have singled out Florida, whose sentencing guidelines allow the elimination of a chance for parole in certain… Read full post »
What a tee shirt this would make! Smokers beware!
As a follow up to my post of October 11th, "Smoking's Scarlet Letter - S for Stinky," I've found the perfect solution to Palm Beach Tax Collector, Anne Gannon's desire to employ non-smokers only. The threat of being fired for continuing to puff away would not be necessary.
Ms. Gannon is… Read full post »
