CURRENT MISSION

saving America from obesity and saving African children from kwashiorkor, one transplanted McDonald's at a time

ABOUT ME

easy-going over-achiever, once-upon-a-time a pageant girl, got a tool bench instead of a doll house as a small child, and a blonde-Buddhist-cloud-dancer with enough green clothing to make St. Patty's Day last for over 2 months.

"Countin' flowers on the wall doesn't bother me at all. Playin' Solitaire's a ball with a deck of 51. Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo, oh don't tell me that I've nothing to do!"

PHILOSOPHY

Closeness only counts in horseshoes and dancing.

I'm a giver. Helper. Enabler. Nurturer. I am fiercely independent, but only so that I'm free to help my fellow man.

You can go your own way.
