About the title

"...A young pastor, finding himself in charge of some very energetic children, hits upon a game called "Giants, Wizards, and Dwarfs." "You have to decide now," the pastor instructed the children, "which you are ... a giant, a wizard or a dwarf?" At that, a small girl tugging at his pants leg, asked, "But where do the mermaids stand?" The pastor tells her there are no mermaids. "Oh yes there are," she said. "I am a mermaid." {from Barbara Bush's Commencement Address at Wellesley, 1990}

About me

I'm a very happy wife to a newly minted lawyer. Our little flock includes two spunky parakeets, DeWitt and Gwen. When I'm not reading or diligently monitoring the popular media (ahem...), I'm can be found thoroughly enoying my husband, playing with my birds, and stumbling through amatuer photography.
