Yes, I was raised on a farm and yes, I live on one now with lots and lots of critters. However, a country bumpkin, I can assure you, I am not. Au contraire, I am smarter than the average bear. Okay, maybe a little bumpkin at times, especially since I originally spelled it like it sounds, “oh contrere”, but I have lived in the best of both worlds; city and country. Next stop, beach.

All my experiences have and are providing some good, funny and inspiring material, which is currently being applied to writing and speaking purposes.

This is also an opportunity to use my Chatty Cathy powers for good.

There are a few caveats you need to be aware of:

First, I’ve never been one to refrain from pen and tongue, so don’t expect it to happen here. I won’t sugar coat it either. I tell it like it is, call it as I see it. It’s my site, my thoughts and my voice.

Second, my stuff will stay clean so people like family members, organizations who want to hire me and my 11 year old friend Emma can read it without wincing; too much anyway. Besides, I don’t think you have to “go blue”, a term I learned in my stand up comedy class with Dan French, to be funny. But don’t be surprised if I use words like crap, damn or hell. I believe those, in the right context, are acceptable, appropriate and quite funny.

Words like poop, dang or agony just don’t fit nearly as well, damn it.

Third, if you don’t like to laugh about people, farming, animals or life then, well, don’t let the door…

If you do, then pull off your boots, tennies or crocs and stay awhile. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

So, without further ado, let the funnies begin!
