I live in Little Rock, AR. Fortunately, I've lived in much better places :) Unfortunately, three of my grandchildren live here, and I'm too old to traipse around the country any more.


I have two sons; the older one, Jean-Paul, owns a gym here in Little Rock, and has three children (Julian 10, Sophie 7, Ethan 4). He has a lovely wife who works in IT at the Capitol, and a beautiful home that he just bought a year ago.


My other son (Jazno) teaches animation in Seattle, Washington. He worked 11 years as an effects animator for Disney before 3d animation got so popular and most of the 2d animators got laid off. He has a daughter (Bella) who is almost three.


I'm originally from Colorado. My first husband was from Kansas, so I lived back and forth between CO and KS for 12 years or so. After the divorce my ex's work took him to Johnson City TN, where I moved for a short time.

I met my second husband there; he was a charming ne'er-do-well and led me a merry dance for 25 years. We lived in Denver for a while but since he was from Massachusetts we spent about 12 years there (Northampton, Chicopee, Greenfield). While my son worked at Disney, we visited and John fell in love with it. We moved there a year or so later and went to work for Disney for the next 13 months. We couldn't afford to stay working there and moved back to MA for a while, but he was a kid yearning for his Magic Kingdom and we tried moving back in early 2001.

9/11 ruined the economy for a while; we moved to Arkansas since my son was established here and we were broke. We lived in Hot Springs for a while, but we couldn't find consistent work. My husband ran off with a nurse and I moved in with my son until I could afford to rent an apartment.

That's kind of the bare bones version, but gives you an idea why I'm familiar with places and themes that may come up in future conversations.
