Greetings, and welcome to my lair.

I've been wandering the web for untold days and nights, and I've collected many a treasure to suit my eclectic tastes. Both past and future draw me on; I seek adventures of the mind and spirit in this cyber-realm. Who knows what marvelous wonders you shall see, what extraordinary people you shall meet?

Journey on...

WebFun Check out my favorite ways to spend time on the web. WBGO Jazz Central Real Jazz from a real radio station in Newark, NJ, that you can listen to while you surf. You'll need RealPlayer to listen -- download it for free. Irish Cyber Pub Some really great folks hang out at this warm, welcoming and sometimes wild chat room. If you see Jan, tell her Lissa says "Hi!" Macromedia Shockrave Download the free Shockwave plug-in to play games, watch cartoons, and make your own music. Too much fun. Internet Movie Database If you love movies, you'll wonder how you ever lived without this phenomenal site. Games, quotes, movie news, and data for thousands of films. The Movie Quote Game Guess the film the quote came from and you can supply the next quote. Ten quotes in each of nine categories. Center for the Easily Amused Even if you're not so easily amused, you'll find lots of laughs here. About.com The best starting point on the web. Chat, boards, newsletters, original articles, and excellent directories on more than 600 topics, each site maintained by a real live person. The Free Site The best site for freebies online and off, great for webmasters. Sign up for their free email newsletter. The Quotations Home Page The original quotes page has everything from Shakespeare to Steven Wright. Mind boggling. Smithsonian Institute The next best thing to being there. So much to see, just like the actual museums you can't see it all in just one visit.

The "Random Link" JavaScript was obtained from Website Abstraction and was adapted by Lissa.

The stunning graphic at the top of the page was designed by Moira of Moira's Web Jewells and can be found in her Medieval collection. Text was added by your host. The button link to my Medieval History page here at the Lair is also part of Moira's Medieval collection.

The books button that leads to the library was designed by Lissa.

The background was inspired by a medieval design found at Castle Trash (now back online as Clipart Castle) and was created by Lissa.
