I have a confession to make. Although I was raised in the vicinity of my beloved New York City... I was not born on the East Coast.My entire gaggle of family members... all six of them... are from New Jersey. And I, the artistic black sheep that can't seem to fit in with any sort of 'normal' existence that doesn't involve my precious medium of words... was born in McHenry Illinois.

I returned this afternoon after a four day gallivant. Tonight I shall wrap myself in blankets, continue reading my books, drink hot chocolate, and sort my writing plan for the week ahead.

I laugh at the term 'public servant' and still did even when I was considered one; because I'm pretty sure 'servants' don't get driven around in limousines. Not that I ever reached such 'stature' ...
