Why I'm in Rotary:
Thanksgiving @ Senior Center - I melt every time I watch people enjoy.

What people don’t know about me:
I'm really very shy retiring and introverted.

Strange, but true:
Of all my jobs (accountant, tutor, book review author, rat brain tomographer, professional scrabble player) my favorite was selling rubber dog poop.

Passions, hobbies, interests:
Writing, cooking, dogs, travel, photography, word/board games, shooting, spas.

What I'm really good at:
I could fit the answer in this box, if you asked what I'm not good at. Then I could answer: humility and marriage.

One goal I’d like to accomplish:
Finish editing my novel and publish it.

Favorite place to vacation/visit:
I"ve loved every place I've visited. The people are always  very friendly & welcoming. Ireland & Croatia most scenic. Italy and Russia most historic. Best food in France and Spain. Choosing a favorite would be impossible.

Most embarrassing moment:
Disembarking water taxi in Italy. One foot on dock, one on dock when boat suddenly drifted. Thank goodness two handsome Italians were there to keep me from taking a swim.
My own question: The real me?
Do you honestly think you can handle the real me? And would this question and answer become public when I run for POTUS.
