Hi everybody! My name is Lucy. I used to live in the neighborhood a number of years ago, but moved away for a time. Now I'm back. The building has changed a little but it's still full of the great character I always knew it was capable of. I'm glad to see it was bought and renovated by people who love it. Some of you already know me (almost in the Biblical sense, like Elaine, Nothing brings you together or kills you outright, like putting a zine together! But "Who You Know" was certainly worth it! And then there's Martha who used to sing with me ( I still sing, and don't get really as nervous) and Linda who used to come and visit with her dog Peanut. What a classy lady! And I heard another tenant was Rosemary, who I always felt so seriously UNDERestimated her talent. If anybody could write circles around me it would be her. I think that's all I know for right now, but I'm sure there are others and I am looking forward to hearing from them. I've been reading my brains out and having a ball. I'm sure the writing bug will bite any minute, the brain is already turning. But I've GOT to finish my Voyager story first!!!! As for what I've bee doing since the last zcon I attended, let's see. I've gotten remarried. (yes, again!) I dated the guy for 3 YEARS this time. It helped. I'm very happy. He's Italian, which is kinda funny since he looks like a leprechaun, red hair lighter than mine and freckles, blue eyes. Looks like a chip off the Blarney stone, boy was I surprised when I met his family and felt like I'd been transported into the set of "Moonstruck", or The GodFather (that' another story) But believe me I've never had it so good. I'm still working as a nurse. Tho' now I am the Night supervisor in charge of the entire hospital from 7p to 7a. All the hot shot powers that be are gone and the buck stops here. But I love it, and feel I make a difference. (at least that's what the nurses say when they see me make rounds "Boy are we glad it's you on tonight".) I'm sure they say the same thing to Cheryl Maier. She was my cohort in fandom too, she is the other full time night sup. so the house is in as good a hands when she;s there as when I am, I think it's when we're both off that nobody's driving the bus. I 'm glad to be back and hope to hear from old friends and make new ones. I've got popcorn and hot chocolate laced with Irish cream on the coffee table if anyone wants to stop in.
