The doctor with the fuzzy ears delivered me. As a Halloween-eve baby, things have been a little kooky from the start.

From there, I grew up splashing around my backyard on the James River. So far, I haven't met a motorless water sport I didn't like.

A few things:

• If given the right volume, I'm convinced any Aretha Franklin song could move mountains.
• I often refer to myself as mama in the third person.
• I believe hell is just a large strapless bra one must endure for eternity.
• I love entertaining, whether it be with words, food, or uncontrolled outbursts of song.
• Mama's got this thing for wigs.
