To get this page rolling I’m just going to do a sketchy bio/purpose posting.
Just call me Maureen. Or you can call me Mo. Just don’t call me on the phone and try to sell me something.
I usually have an opinion on most every piece of news that comes along. I come from a family of opinion sharers. Like it or not, they said what was on their minds.
I’m a Jersey Girl currently living in San Antonio, TX. I call the local paper The Distress Views.
I am a veteran of circulation and advertising newspaper jobs. My ancestors were printing pressmen for New York City and area newspapers, including rotogravure (Family Weekly and Parade magazines). That started with great-grandpa, back in the late 1800’s.
I married a newspaperman. Our son also was in the newspaper and magazine game for a short time.
I’m still married -- happily. I’ll keep him a while longer.
Part of my background includes writing a humorous food column for a weekly shopper. Those columns included recipes. I plan to post some on this site. Look for “Mother Cupboard’s Comfort Corner.”
I also did my share of secretarial fetching and sweating.
I enjoy books and good TV programs. I think most of this reality TV fodder is crap.
I love good music. Naturally, my view of Rap music (?) is that they left out the C when they coined the term.
I also enjoy a bit of gaming. And have been known to shuffle a mean Two-Step and a passable booty-shake in a club or two...or...
So now you know that I’m not exactly a 20-something. However, I’m not toddling off to the rest home, either.
I’m fairly conservative.
I tweet. I tweet-up. I like it.
That’s pretty much what I’m all about. Updates may appear from time to time.
