AMN is not on this thread! Only DiM! AMN is waiting for more of "my" personal bio.

For instance (and maybe no one knew), I had to ditch the camel fairly quickly when he ate my favorite horachis and all that macrame` I had worked so hard to create. If you've ever wondered, Camel makes for a fine meal. But, I digress.

It wasn't long before I finished high school (only 8 years!) and I knew that I had to strike out on my own. I burned my first bra in 1972 at a Grateful Dead concert during the biker weekend in Sturgis, SD. My memory is a little foggy, but there was also some John Lennon music in the background and virtually everyone loved me!

My career as a dancer had begun to wane, it seemed like everyone was more interested in bark, berries, and leisure suits. Oh, how I longed for my days of glory, so short, but so sweet.

It was during this personal transition period that I was determined to find my new path. I also wanted to know more about the greater world and therefore, made a bold move. I packed up everything of value (it took all three of my milk crates) and headed for the big city to make my mark on the world.

When I reached Toad Hollow, I was overwhelmed with the bright lights and fast pace, but I was confident and undaunted.

I needed a job that would keep me living in fine style and continue to support my newest passion, painting pet rocks...
