An introduction of sorts, some musings on the distillation of ourselves into stand-alone adjectives and nouns ("tall! decaf! cappuccino!"), and the launch of a new venture.
I had to come up with a bio when I had a stint on the executive board of my professional association a decade and a half ago. I was tired of reading bios extolling accomplishments, so I submitted this:
“Tim is a Northern California native who changed his major three times, went to four different colleges, and took six years to get a bachelor’s degree in a subject he’s never been called upon to use professionally.”
Ha ha, I just love how your mind works, Amy! This is such a fun and informative post – and good on you for adding the paid option.
I think the deceased Mr. Dashwood was Henry, though?
*facepalm* Yes! You are right! I'll fix it with all possible speed.

I haven’t written a new bio since.
This is a great bio!
Does Lady Catherine de Bourgh even *do* jokes?! That would be an amazing one-line bio: Court Jester of the Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
Amy, the way you write is just SO CUTE!!!---and I mean that in the least demeaning way possible!
