I may or may not have offended some folks. I quote lines from movies and songs so often that most people are unaware of what I'm doing. But time or not, I love hiking in the great outdoors and I enjoy pushing myself to new heights, both physically and spiritually. I usually have to get sick for something even close to that happening. If I had all the time in the world, I'd probably lay on the sofa all day and watch old movies. I believe one must go North to get South of here. It gets a little more southern every time I cross the Florida/Georgia state line. About me: I was born and reared just outside of Savannah, Georgia in a charming small town, Sylvania, Georgia.

How could she know that the answer is waiting for her within the narrow stairwell of her father’s apparel factory, exactly between the third and fourth floors?
