I refused my arranged marriage to the Dominant Paradigm and have pursued free thought ever since. A journalist, comedic entertainer and researcher who loves (almost to orgasmic proportions) unearthing history or data that challenges the conventional wisdom, I will not be found riding any bandwagon. For decades, I was that co-worker or member of the lunch bunch everyone went to for questions like, "Who is New Zealand's prime minister," or "In what year did Sylvia Plath die?" Then, Google came along and -- GASP, I needed a new reason for people to like me! So, I have learned to become more relaxed and fun. Lots of friends these days. Thanks Google!
