Downright Weird

Since I’ve retired from Trinity, I suppose those of you who remember me at all assume I regularly wear overalls, have traded in my toy poodles for hound dogs, and chew tobacco rather than leisurely sip a gin martini. I assure you—NOT SO! 

I remain much the same—just slower and dressed more, let’s call it, casually. Regularly, I even lead discussions of contemporary novels with groups of “mature” women. As evidenced by this list, my taste in reading recommendations is, upon even the most casual of examinations, downright weird. Come to think of it, those of you who know me might be muttering, “What else is new?”
