: About Me

I am a California native who has been whisked away by the love of my life to the wild, cold country of Ontario, Canada, where we've been living in crazy marital bliss since 2002.

I believe that laughter is one of the most important things we can do, every single day. There is nothing more satisfying than a great, deep belly laugh.

Some of my best laughs come from laughing at myself. But then again, if I didn't laugh, I'd cry.

I write a column for our local paper where we live, and am lucky enough to have an avenue to express my observations in my sarcastic, dry manner.

I hope one day to become a multi-published, USA Today best-selling author of romantic comedy.
