Sherry Caris, Now you have wounded my vanity.
Thomas R. Barton, JD

Oh dear, Thomas R. Barton, JD! The last thing I would want to do is wound you in any way, shape or form. I always thought Springfield was the quintessential name for a fine town. Apparently Matt Groening agreed with me.

I’m not sure you can know me much better after reading my stories. Except that I’m a huge goofball and very silly. My husband says I keep him amused which is very good, as I like to be useful.

Also, aside from having the Crohn’s Disease and some antibody mutations, I have that iris genetic mutation where your eyes are a different color on the inside than the outside of the circle. It runs in my family.

Oh and my mom’s entire family is Hungarian and she is a first generation American.

Also, I like to repeat funny words, so sometimes I drive my husband crazy because I keep saying the same word over and over again. Maybe it’s part of my OCD. I love repetition. One of my favorite lines from any novel is “Rented a tent, a tent, a tent;
Rented a tent, a tent, a tent.
Rented a tent!
Rented a tent!
Rented a, rented a tent.” 
The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut

Oh and I have double jointed thumbs and can fingerpick on the guitar like a maniac.

That is all.
