My name is Jean and I am a writer.

(pause)

(going to get a cup of coffee)

I'm older, and divorced, and now that the kids are grown and either in college or startiing their families I finally have time to concentrate on the things that matter to me. I have finished most of my planned education (BA in Russian, minor in German, 2 classes away from a BA in French) and while I try to come up with the funds to continue my masters program I'm stuck in a little trailer in a little town not too far from hell. 

I joined this site a few months ago, but then I forgot about it. I'm really not busy these days, and yet I am, in some weird way. So I made this one of the pages that comes up every time the browser opens. No forgetting now...

Thanks for the welcomes.

Actually this cool weather is more like my home: California. It's the heat I find unbearable, even after 16 years here.

Hi Jean, and welcome! 

We're having exceptionally cool weather here in Alabama also, and I'm so grateful! 

Good on you for getting your degree(s) and planning your next step. This is a great site, many smart folks to match wits with and gain inspiration from.

Cheers! and Happy Weekend!
