Pleased to meet you!
Impressed by your credentials...kudo's to you!
From a 57 yo single mom of Stella who is 18.
I'm also a wannabee jazz singer, who writes poetry when the inspiration calls, who prefers fantasy to reality, and who currently works for the state of Washington for now, but this state too, is crying "we're out of money". How's the job scene in tasmania?????
