My Voice Message

I really enjoyed doing my voice message to all of you. Some people thought it is AI. But I think you all know my voice. I plan to do more in the future. Some shows sort of made fun of what I said and their remarks really hurt me. One lady thought I sounded like […]

Talk Shows, Part 4

I first met Rosanne Barr on an airplane. She was seated next to her first husband. She had a royal blue airplane blanket over her legs. She was eating a bag of peanuts and some of the nuts fell on her blanket. I introduced myself and let her know that I had just seen her […]
