I Am Essentially A Loner.

My Life Has Had Meaning, With The Friendships Full And Valuable And Essential To Me. My Children, Steve, Leslie, And Sam, Are All Different-all First-rate Human Beings With High Standards-whom I Completely And Unequivocally Adore-don't Always Agree With-but Always Admire And Respect. They All Have Wit And A Sense Of Humor And, Thank God, I Have Hung On To Mine.

I Find That Through The Sad Times, Work Is What Made My Continuing, Not Breaking Down, Possible. In Work, I Was Always Someone Else And I Subconsciously Reveled In That.

Sophie, My Dog, Is The High In The Highlights Of My Life. Even Through Rain, Snow, Ice, And General Laziness, She Is The Reason I Smile When I Wake Up And A Comfort To Me Continually. I Could Never Have Imagined That A Now Five-pound, Six-ounce Dog Would Take Over My Life. But It Has Happened, And I Am Happy To Have Someone To Look After And Share My Moods With.
