Nothing much; just life, liberty and the pursuit of piffle.

I am probably a closet reactionary masquerading as an easy going push-over. Growing up, I went to a Christian Science church and became a doctor. I no longer affiliate myself with any religion for many reasons, one of which is not wanting to give up any of my weekend. I was raised in the Air Force and am now staunchly liberal and hate to move. I do love to fly, however, something my husband will never understand. I can keep a secret. I will never give another speech. I kiss my dog on the mouth but not for an hour after I see her eat a bug. I value comfort over style and rarely change my appearance. I believe passionately in fighting sexism and racism. I have a long attention span and truly love my job. I tend to like most people I meet. I am very shy. But can fake the whole outgoing thing when wearing my professional persona. I hate calling people on the phone. I love e-mail. I run 15-20 miles a week so I can eat the food I like. I met my husband my 1st week of college. I had never expected to marry someone as I never thought I would find someone to put up with me and my career choice. We've been together 23 years. Guess there is someone for everyone.

Happy blog-a-versary! (That seems so very Winnie the Pooh to say. Doesn't Eyeore have Tail-a-versaries?) how did I miss this the first time around?
And your poetry is waaaaay better than mine.
What Teri said. The poetry I make up in the shower, stays in the shower.
Yay! I am very thrilled to have met you and consider you and Teri to be really good friends as well as Johnny.
I'm also quite jealous because I found haikus to be quite challenging. Give me free verse any day.
Listmaker, lol.
Teri- It does fit what Pooh would say, doesn't it. And you, my friend, are waaaaay too kind, the only person whose poetry is worse than mine is also me.
Listmaker- I should learn that lesson, yet I seem to feel the need to inflict intentionally wretched haiku on you. Evil.
Dana- Right back at you, sweetie! Do not tempt me with what damage I could do to free verse. I am sure GOOD haiku is very difficult, however, BAD haiku is frightenly easy. Just pare it to a total of 17 syllables and stop.
Happy Blog-o-versary! I'm thrilled you kept up and that you share so many heartwarming stories. Here's to many more years and we'll all read your haikus!
Yippee! Maintaining a blog IS a lot of work and you should be proud. Bravo, blogging sister.
Beth- You are so sweet. I really won't hold those I like to readng the haikus. For some reason, I just get the urge to write something beastly.
Gerah- It is such fun and cathartic and strangely social work, though, sister.
