I returned to the outside work force a couple of years ago, having enjoyed freelancing while raising our two children, herewith known as the Pouting Princess and Tall Boy. I am a designer in the advertising department of our bustling daily newspaper where I have learned all sorts of whizzbang computer skills, but I still need to paint. A few months ago I started a blog. I have been managing to crank out some decent art almost every day. If I could only be so regular about working out!
I have spent 25 some-odd years as a painter and designer, exhibiting in galleries and museums, painting murals for various PTAs, designing newsletters, logos, greeting cards, magazine ads and illustrating little books for Christmas gifts. I contribute illustrations every week, too, to the JavaPlum.com Web site. I depict the tall, blonde, thin, chic gad-about-town that we all think dwells within us.
Every couple of years I get together with my dearest and oldest friends from college, the Reid Hall Red Hots. We have been misbehaving in hats much longer than those Red Hat johnnys-come-lately. It has been quite a gift that we treasure our misspent youth. Our children (and husbands) despair. I grew up in Connecticut in a family of readers and writers. The New England work ethic propels me daily - and thus the blog. I hope you'll bookmark it and visit it often. My domestic trials and travails can be fairly amusing. One hopes. Enjoy!

Oh, the EMMYs, that endless extravaganza of everything TV. A mind-numbing nod to reality and variety, drama and comedy and all the questionable stuff in-between.

Well, the chill is in the air, it’s September already. Hard to believe the summer went by so fast. Time for some good new music to snuggle up with. As with movies, good albums come out in the fall, just in time for the holidays. Here’s one I highly recommend.
