In no particular order, I’m a mom, a retired military officer, a medical practitioner, a travel junkie, an educator, a dyed-in-the-wool B-movie nut, a wife, a daughter, a metalhead, a big old nerd, and a mildly obnoxious (small ‘l’) libertarian.

Fortunately for all concerned, I (mostly) confine the bloviating herein to my (hopefully humorous) explorations of the odder worlds of cinema, my travels to explore same, and the occasional quick look at my current pop-cultural obsessions. All sparingly spiced with observations on the nature of liberty and its reflection in the media.

Also, I like parentheses (a lot!).
