Sandi Nice to meet you Jilly, I'm Michele, as my brother and the rest of my family don't call me.
You seem to read a lot and have a lot going at once. I'm only starting to read again. For some reason about 5 yrs ago, I lost my concentration.
Still havn'et gotten it back quite, I stick to nonfiction for the moment. I think htat's just b//c I'm more interested in what's going on in rl
I'll be very happy to get to know you
