: About Me

I worked (too) hard for 26 years teaching college freshmen to write term papers and themes and to interpret literature and appreciate drama as literature. Whew! I've also written ads and news for radio. Thank God, that's behind me, and now, partially retired, I can enjoy life-translate as "travel, theater, cooking, gardening, shopping, and fixing up the house the way I want it."

Friends consider me an expert on budget travel. I laugh at those "experts" who advise us to "do Europe on $70/day." I would have spent less than that my entire six days in Belgium if I hadn't bought all those chocolates! A history buff, I spend the most on entrance fees and tours.

I'd love to be a speech writer for some of the current political candidates. Doesn't everyone want to put words in their mouths?

My passion is ...

travel, especially train travel in Europe

I know too much about ...

politics-and nobody wants to hear it!

My parents always told me ...

"Eat!"-so I do, but I'm still skinny. That's how I rebelled.

My childhood ambition ...

to do a cartwheel without hands-failed!

My favorite memory ...

Paris with David

Why I write ...

because sometimes I can't find anyone to travel with, and writing is my stay-at-home compulsion.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Pride and Prejudice on cassette-sleep with it and know it by heart!

My first job ...

waitress at Angie & Lloyd's Italian/American Restaurant, Wildwood, NJ

My best moment ...

now!

My inspiration ...

anyone who changed history for the better

15 of 15

You begin an eviction process by giving a tenant thirty days notice in writing, but after thirty days, he's still there. It happens all the time, so don't feel that this business has it in for you. You may consult an eviction attorney, but most localities don't cater much to small landlords and expect them to handle themselves in magistrate court. Start rental agreements with a written lease that specifies terms under which a tenant agrees to vacate the premises. If his rent is more than so many days late, if his utilities are turned off for nonpayment, if he invites "squatters" onto the p...
