Born and raised in suburban Philadelphia in the 60s and 70's, I am one of eleven children with a fraternal twin brother. Which means, yes, I grew up Catholic. It wasn't THAT bad - except when it was. When not bartending or waiting tables to pay for my education, I've been a teacher, a counselor, an acupuncturist, and writer. I haven't decided what I'll be next. I lived in Boston for 20 years where I met some of the most important people in my life; my family of friends. In June of 2012, I decided to take up a friend's invitation and move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. So it's an ex-pat's life for now, doing my best to learn Spanish and settle into life in the slow lane. So far, es buy bien! But when I graduated high school, me and the church lived in Boston for 20 years
