About Me (Extended Version)

I have been around the block but not around the world. While I have made a trip or two (okay, four) out of the country, I'd really like to be able to count on MORE than two hands the countries I have visited.  Traveling does not come up much in my job so any that I do is on my "own dime".

Here I must digress to actually count up the countries I have visited:  Canada, The Bahamas, The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland.  I don't think I've missed any.  There they are: on one hand.

I have many interests and not so much money.  Librarian is the perfect job for me.  Armchair traveling on a regular basis keeps what little money I do have preserved somewhat.

I hope to use this blog to remember who I am.  Not in an amnesia sort of way.  I don't really have amnesia any more than the next person who has been around for the number of decades they can count on one hand.

Speaking of hands, I love hands. And touch. And texture. And surface.

And speaking of fingers, I hope to be able to have enough life left in me to count a decade on every finger.  What a wild and wonderful thing that would be.
