I'm a writer and theatre director/producer newly back in the Buffalo area. I'm divorced, no children, and, at the moment alas, no dog, although my mom has 2 cats I help with sometimes. I lost my most recent dog in a divorce-at least I know she's with a good person! (That's right; I don't hate my ex-wife, we just weren't able to make it work any longer. But we had 15+ years together and that ain't nothing!)
