About Me:
I make children's books with music to them, and perform in a band called "The Jazz Requirement," from time to time....if ever you're on the fence about visiting the north end, my darling, just call- i'll be there; no one ever twisted my arm over a cannolli. i not-so-secretly harbor a deep desire to swingdance to live bigband music, often. i'm on the lookout for new and old friends who's idea of 'party' equals making food, boardgame nights, craft nights, and watching movies. or bundling up and picnic-ing on the river. you can visit www.myspace.com/thejazzrequirement to see/hear a little more..
I like singing in French and Italian, and love old records of older music.

Testimonials and Comments for Megan
And! There is a new addition to my family and it comes with four legs and a wet little nose! :)
I am indeed enjoying my new post. It's surely hotter than hell up there, especially when you throw the giant clothing steamer into the mix, but I get absolute first dibs on garments and shoes!
I hope you are enjoying your beach. The water rats wanted to go over to the cool waters in your area on this hot day, but I coaxed them into staying put. You're welcome. ;)
Mental note: reverse psychology truly does work, or maybe it's just opposite day again.
are you floating in mid air?
i'm impressed.
