Hey ya'll. I'm not very good at sharing, but I wanted to leave a comment on my brother's blog, and apparently you have to bare some of your own soul before being allowed to do so.

I am the oldest of three siblings. My sister is the next oldest and is an energizer bunny - always on the go, teaching the underprivileged children in Anaheim, CA, righting wrongs, standing for the weak and leaping tall buildings in a single bound. My brother (and also a blogger) is the youngest and got the majority of the brains in the family, as well as an insightful view of the world and the ability to put that insight into words. He lives in CA as well. I'm not sure what my description would be, unless it is the undecided sister - I have moved from CA to Iowa and back and forth approximately 8 times in my life (not counting the two times I was moved as a child by my parents - who may be to blame for my indecision).

I am happily in Iowa now, with it's slower pace of life, changing seasons and also the home of my 80 year old mother (who thinks she is only 65), with whom I have a love/tolerate relationship. "We laugh at different comics, and cheer for different teams" - a line from the musical, South Pacific.

Yes, I am a music lover, especially older movie soundtracks, music from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and a bare minimum of the 80's. Also a little bit of country, songs with funny lyrics and songs with "a good beat that you can dance to...." - a familiar line to those of you who listened to American Bandstand.

The main problem with my current residence in Iowa is that it is 2000 miles away from my favorite brother and sister. But with the miracle of telephones, internet and air travel, we keep in touch.

This may be my only post, as I am not a particularly sharing, baring my soul type person, and also because I tend to be inconsistent. But thanks for listening, and goodnight........
