About Me

Tina E.: DFW, Texas, United States; I'm just another old woman who has had wide ranging interests for a long time, These include fishing, shooting, reading, cooking, and all manner of (mostly) left wing politics. Born and bred in New York - Queens, to be precise - I now live in Texas, another state that folks seem to attack (like N.Y.) without ever having been here. I'm also a fan of most sports -- esp. baseball, esp. the New York Yankees. Originally a New York Giants (baseball) fan, I was crushed when they moved. It took many years wandering in the wilderness before I returned to baseball. I's all Wade Boggs fault. When I watched that artist, my love for baseball resurfaced. Since he was then a Yankee -- it had to be the Yankees. The Mets pretended they had spiritual ties to the old Brooklyn Dodgers - no Giant fan could go there. I tried - couldn't do it.
