More about me...I have a Master's Degree in Library Science and another Master's Degree in History. So of course I work in fast food. Would you like some fries with that? (Just kidding) I've been interviewed by Dog Fancy as I'm an expert on the pug's place in history.
Hmmm...what else is important? I like travelling, horseback riding, and wasting bags of time on the Internet.
