This does not look like me, even though the GeoCities clipart collection calls it a librarian:
Maybe an accountant, juggling books?

This looks a little more like me . . .

  somewhere between these two, maybe . . . maybe not.

My (other) alma mater wise and glorious, etc. -- & sometimes the football team wins, too:

And this is who I want to be when I grow up

Or  maybe  (though some days I feel more like Charlie Brown).

This is where I live:
  You too? Small world!
Aren't you glad it doesn't spin around that fast really?  As my mom used to say,   tempus is fugiting.

I have stuff on other sites, too.

As the 1999-2000 chairperson of the West Virginia Library Association's Government Documents Roundtable,
I put together a web page for our group that is online at WVLA's site.

How did the wombat get to be the mascot of the Stumpers list?

THINK IT'S ODD FOR A RIVER TO FLOW NORTH?
You won't, I hope, after you read my list of
Rivers that Flow North.

Why is my page called "Aunt Lowey's"? Because I have so many nieces and nephews,
and now some of them have nieces and nephews of their own!

My favorite Easter present ever: my baby great-nephew, Carson James Powers, born April 15, 2001!  And his little brother, Reed, born in October 2002. And here they are with Mommy and Daddy! Their dad is my older sister's son.
Also, I've added a page with pictures of my brother's grandkids, Jericho and Jordan, who are cousins to each other and second cousins to Carson and Reed.  I have LOTS more relatives, even more great-nieces and nephews
. I just don't have more pictures of them all scanned and ready to put online.


Also forthcoming, one of these days, pics of my brother and some of the rest of his family, and some from my 2003 vacations. Which includes even more of Carson and Reed!

 

Still under construction: my TV page. Also its brother, the TV Channel Lineup page).
Both these pages are somewhat out-of-date because I haven't worked on them for awhile, but there's still some useful information on them. Example HR
Links to More Favorite Sites

Yahoo! is often a good place to start.

Or if you're feeling lucky, try 
{
This reminds me of Carnegie Museum

MSN's Pittsburgh CitySearch even lets you take a virtual tour of the museum's Dinosaur Hall --
see the dinosaur skeletons "up close and personal!"

Or go "virtually" up the street to this tour of Phipps Conservatory's Fern Room!
Yinz kin even learn to tahk like a Picksburgher an 'at!  Try 
(my accent isn't nearly this bad).

If you liked the information at the top of the page, click on this sundial  for more neat stuff on time, astronomy, etc.

 More cool weather stuff :

A neat reference site, with a dictionary, encyclopedia, and other interesting stuff

A good deed to do today:

You know the saying that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't?
The Hunger Site is an exception to that rule.   Click on the banner ad.

And on a much less serious note, if you like science fiction and/or romance stories,
(or even if you don't), you might enjoy
The Tale of RoboRock and Sweet Blossom: A Science Fiction Romance, by Catherine Asaro
(her other stuff is good too!)
This is from the April 1, 1999, issue of SF Site.  (And remember, so you can't say no one warned you, April 1 is . . . )

I will eventually add more links, and maybe more pages, so check back!
