The Beginning
I figure I will include all kinds of random things for you to read in my online Journal....various writings, my own personal history, ventings if need be....whatever. But tonight I will do an introductory type of entry, something actually inspired by one of my best friends, Jenny. It is my personal list of "20", mostly quirky things about me to get us acquainted. Shall we proceed?
1. I have naturally red hair
2. I prefer Coke over Pepsi
3. I love Jack Russell terriers, and we own two
4. I do not eat seafood
5. I hate clowns, they are scary evil unnatural beings
6. I drive a green Jeep
7. I turned 30 this year
8. My occupation: museum curator/historical interpreter
9. Someone of history I admire: Thomas Jefferson (and I was employed at his home, Monticello)
10.I can never resist buying books
11.My favourite holiday is Halloween
12.I want to buy an 18th century house and turn it into a B&B

Below is a photo of myself and John Callahan in work performing a rifle demo at Ft. Wool Virginia (1997) (by the way, I am the short one!)
