About Me

My photo
Sherril
Morris Plains, New Jersey, United States
I am a writer in search of a reader, a reader who wishes to write, a frustrated scribe without the necessary tools, yet having a lot to say. I wanted to act, so I entered the department of Speech and Dramatic Arts at Syracuse University a long time ago and became instead a Speech Pathologist. I am a mother of two grown kids and they are both a major life accomplishment.I am defined by my gender and Jewish religion as a culture. I started a book club. We call it the Book Club for Liberal Thinkers because moveon.org and progressive politics brought us together. I love books, movies, theater and babies, not necessarily in that order. I have a favorite movie, Enchanted April, which comes from the book of the same name and has a line that I love to quote: - "TO THOSE WHO APPRECIATE WISTERIA AND SUNSHINE SMALL MEDIEVAL ITALIAN CASTLE on the shores of the Mediterranean to be Let furnished for the month of April."
