First-in-a-Lifetime Experience

As I have done at least a dozen times in my life, I worked hard for the last two days scrubbing my old apartment in the hopes of recooping at least some of my deposit. In the past, the landlord has always taken a good chunk regardless of my former abode's condition. This time, however, my work paid off. The landlord met me as I was completing the finishing touches on the carpet cleaning, looked the place over, and wrote me a check on the spot for the full amount of the deposit. Wow! Much gratitude and joy for the $900 in my pocket tonight.

About Me

Southern California, United States
Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.
