Meet Mrs. Morpheus (a.k.a. Trinity)

Hello everyone.

I've been in 'lurk' mode for a while now but haven't really posted anything. I just thought perhaps I should introduce myself.

First, may I say, you all do a great job in keeping us up to-date on the latest news and information.  Your wit and intelligent discussions/debates are very refreshing, particularly after a long day of being seemingly surrounded by people who only watch CNN & 'Dancing with the Stars' and believe everything the TV tells them. I hope that I can, in time, make my own contributions into this pool of knowledge and we can learn from each other. 

My husband is CM member 'Morpheus'. We met in March of 2008 and were both searching for answers and information to be able to make some sense of what was happening. I stumbled upon the Crash Course one day, started watching it, and then encouraged him to check it out. Since then, he has been very active on the site. I have been somewhat 'out of touch' for the past several months because my energies were largely taken up by the planning and organizing of our recent nuptials. (16 days wed!) However, I hope to be able to devote much more of my time now to learning.

I'm a native of the State of Florida. My mother's family has roots in the Conch Republic (Key West). My career for the past 14+ years has been in the auto finance industry. I do not have any fancy university degrees, just a life-long student in the fabled 'school of hard knocks'; I'm in my 40th year of continuous enrollment. 

I enjoy travelling to new places. Some of my favorite places, so far: the Black Hills in SD, the Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone, and the British Virgin Islands. Places I would love to see: Athens (not the time for that trip now, though), Rome, Tuscany, Florence, Paris, Edinburgh, Budapest, Istanbul, Moscow, and Cairo. I enjoy camping, but as I'm getting older I seem to require more niceties like a tent you can walk into and out of in an upright position. 

I love to read! (I wish I had more time for it on a daily basis.) Currently reading: "Survival+" by Charles Hugh Smith. Some favorites are: Naomi Wolf "The End of America", (this may seem redundant but...) Naomi Wolf "The Beauty Myth", Ron Paul "Revolution: A Manifesto". 

Anyway, that's me. I look forward to getting to know all of you.
