so thought I'd say "Welcome!"

Many years ago, I played the role of Lysystrata in a community theater production of Aristophanes' play.

LOVE that woman! First feminist role model in history.

I never acted the part, but I read the play a bit obsessively in college. I think the character helped me to grow a backbone. Standing up for my self in an effective and subtle way has become a goal for me. Thanks for the note; it makes me feel vindicated, somehow. Kind regards to you and yours.
