Me, Distilled
The skinny on yours truly: Once upon a time I married the city of New Orleans in a small and solemn ceremony on the banks of the Mississippi River. I have lived in five states. I now live in Texas, and have been married for one and a half years to an actual person, my blue-eyed cutie pie husband, who says I drink more wine than anyone he’s ever known. I am an artist, a writer, a lover of life and a user of foul language. I have no desire to be wealthy, watch football, drink Mountain Dew, or work in an office. I make a mean pot of red beans. I like to grow plants, I love to sing, and I wish the toga would come back into fashion. I would let a tarantula crawl on my face for fifty dollars. I have two cats and ten baby six chickens.
Dream Job(s): 1.) Paid, professional novelist. 2.) Paid, professional artist. 3.) Queen of my own private island. 4.) Professional muse.
Stuff I’m Not Scared Of: heights, monkeys, bugs, flying in an airplane, jumping out of an airplane, being naked, having B.O., talking to crazy people (I actually really love talking to crazy people. Maybe I should have studied psychiatry.)
Stuff I AM Scared Of: Tornadoes, getting pooped on by a bird, running over an animal with my car, centipedes.
Stuff I Wanna Do Before I Die: learn another language, ride on a float in a Mardi Gras parade, live in another country, travel somewhere by camel or donkey, travel somewhere by train, learn to make excellent sushi, grow my hair down to my waist, write a bestseller, visit the pyramids of Egypt, Sudan, and Central America, hike in a rain forest, see a vision of the Virgin Mary, hike the Appalachian Trail… (more to come)
Stuff I’ve Crossed Off My “Do Before I Die” List: skydiving, running off and starting a New Life in New Orleans, validating myself as a “real” artist by showing and selling my work in a gallery, learning to cook Creole, getting rid of everything I own (3 times!), finding and marrying my soul-mate, getting a tattoo, singing for an audience, hiking in a rain forest… (more to come)
These are my darling fat kitties.

Hey “Milly”

Hey Yo! I tried to call you the other day and the number I have for you doesn’t work. I still have the same number so call me!! I want to thank you for my gift. I miss you.
You seem like a disgusting amount of fun. I thank marmosets for bringing me here.

You can put a delightful, and expanding asterisk next to ‘Professional Muse.’ In my humble opinion, you already are an astute Internet Muse. And as far as I am concerned these days, that has to be one of the more important jobs on the planet, as we race across the planetary digital expressways bringing enlightenment to folks that need some assistance in thinking again about their locations of their churches…
Oh, that’s very nice of you to say, Chris.
superb. and best of all, jaunty as hell. you grow and grow.
and it’s right that as you grow you should love life more and more. your voice is like a trumpet blast.
