Welcome Message: I'm middle-aged, overweight, under-employed yet still think I'm a great catch because I have blonde hair, blue eyes and a law degree. Oh yeah, and great legs.
About Me: Dissent is what got us a country and it should be encouraged, not stifled.

Bravo.
Villains: Darth Vader (well, duh), Roy Cohn and every publisher/literary agent who has rejected my work so far (but I don't hold a grudge. Honest).
Interests: Writing (prose, mostly. My poetry is worse than anything the Vogons can generate), acting (including stand-up), history, film, cooking (I excel), BASEBALL - RED SOX!!!!!!, raising money for breast cancer research
