Lynne is an amazing person. She's centered, enlightened and forthright.
She's been kissed by angels and bothered by ultra-conservatives. A beauty like hers doesn't come along too often. I feel blessed to have her as a friend.

This is a program from KQED public radio called Forum. They say there is an epidemic of children being sexually exploited and held in captivity, in Oakland. Please listen and pass this along. It's not just happening in Oakland. It's a global problem. It's going to take a real public outcry to stop this. It's part of the global criminal network and is generating $20 to 30 BILLION a year for the global mafia.... read more

Here is Terry Gross of NPR interviewing David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer-prize-winning investigative journalist, on his new book, Free Lunch. It's about all the ways our government makes it possible THROUGH OUR TAXES, among other ways, of syphoning off our prosperity to only the wealthiest few. Check it out. It only takes about 30 minutes to hear the whole interview. Here's the link:

Lately I've been obsessed with my family history. It's a curiosity to me that I'm so obsessed. I have no real idea why I'm doing so much work on it but it seems to be VERY fun!

I saw an ad one day on yahoo's homepage saying that ancestry.com had added military records and now gave access to beaucoup bits of info about people in the family trees. So I took a look at the website--never having done one thing on genealogy or family history before. They give two weeks free membership, so I con... read more

I LOVE NPR for more reasons than I can count. But one of them is for the program, "This I Believe." Here's one of my favorites:

What is ONE?

ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally Americans – ONE by ONE – to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. ONE is students and ministers, punk rockers and NASCAR moms, Americans of all beliefs and every walk of life, united as ONE to help make poverty history. ONE believes that allocating an additional ONE percent of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire g... read more

about me
I'm single--divorced. I never had kids because I didn't particularly want to. I think this beautiful planet is entirely overpopulated. I really appreciate humor and can certainly laugh but I'm not great at generating it. My friends say I'm fun and playful, so that's cool. I am fascinated by people! I love browsing you guys' profiles and photos, and reading what you've written!

I work as an Admin Asst. to three groups of applied mathematicians who supply algorithms for astrophysics, fluid mechanics, and all kinds of other research, and some high performance computer wizards at a national laboratory.

I love to dabble in lots of stuff. I'm a certified Master Gardener who's never had a garden! LOL! I was certified as a Kalos health practitioner. I've taken sailing lessons on the Bay and was on an all-girl racing team for one season--albeit as a "grinder." I took 18 wks of French cooking lessons and 9 wks of Indian vegetarian cooking lessons. I'm now learning beading. I'm an intermediate dancer--learned all the ballroom dances, Latin dances, Argentine tango, and both West and East Coast swing. I was in toastmasters for awhile and gave speeches to the County Board of Supes, the Red Cross at the hospital in Stockton, an Episcopalian Men's Group, the Calaveras Co. Chamber of Commerce, etc. in a major fundraising effort in which we raised $500K to qualify for a state grant to build a new library bldg. That's my biggest accomplishment. I did it as a volunteer.

I've rappeled off a mountain, showed my horse at the Idaho State Fair, had a major enlightenment experience, danced East Coast swing on TV once.

My pirate name: Mad Anne Bonney
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
