What’s been happening:

I continue to be, as always, deeply involved in the creative fields. I've published greeting cards, & posters. I've designed programs for various theatre companies. As an AEA union member, I continue to act & stage manage. I also plan & execute lighting designs, and maintain & repair the equipment both in theatres and night clubs. I've also designed & built props & costumes, & designed & operated sound for various San Francisco-Bay Area theatres. But that's not all. I've published 4 poems. In September of 2006, I received an Editor's Choice Award for "Outstanding Achievement In Poetry". I am currently working on a book of poetry, that I also intend to illustrate. I'm aiming for a target date of 2010, but that may be a little too optimistic !!! And that is still not all. I tutor children in grades kindergarten through 8th in general ed, specializing in English. I also nanny children from infancy to 18 years, mostly on an "on call" basis. I work with an agency called "Bay Area 2nd Mom". I take First Aid and CPR classes to keep my certifications current, and I am registered with the State Trust Certification Board. Let's see. Oh, yes. I own my own home (on which I seem to be constantly working), and I live there quite happily with my 2 dogs: Keikoa, a 4 yr old Labradoodle (who is too smart for words) & Zorro, a 5 yr old Sheprador Chowhound (hee, hee !!!)
