Born in '56, began talking at age 4 and never stopped, much to the distress of my teachers. Have always loved reading, though I am slow. I often have three or four books on the go (based on location).
I have owned a folk cafe for 28 years, and as part of my paraphernalia in the cafe I have for the musicians nail clippers, tuners, picks, capos, strings; and for everyone a dictionary (people argue about the strangest things). In spite of the music, or maybe because of it, there are always books lying around here, including history, recipe, and poetry.
Sadly I am as healthy as a horse, so nothing to complain about.
