Education:  Master of Arts

Creative Writing with a Concentration in Poetry, Class of 2023.

Yes, I did it!

Yay, me. :)

Now to stop some other waiting for things:

Got to work on that.

Can't get so old I no longer have stamina.

I'm in my 60s.

I do Gerofit. Translation: Geriatric Fitness.

Yup, I'm old.
