"Glory is the reward of valour", the clan motto of my maternal Grandmother
About Me: I am ThatYank in NW Ohio, a repatriated expat, former college instructor and environmental permit technical writer, retired and spending WAY too much time online!
Interests & Activities: I cross-stitch and rubber stamp and occasionally knit and do other forms of embroidery. Although I have been in a slump of late, I do love to read crime fiction, science fiction and history/biography.
Favorite Books: "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank, 1959
Favorite Music: Welsh Men's Chorus, American Broadway musicals, and Rachmaninoff
Favorite Movies: "An Affair to Remember", 1957 (NOT the 1939 "Love Affair" on which it was based, nor the 1994 "Love Affair" by Warren Beatty)
Favorite TV Shows: Anything crime-related (CSI, Law & Order, NCIS, Closer, Missing, Cold Case --- you get the drift) but my all-time fave is probably "Homicide: Life on the Street"!
