My Fourth Lifetime

Like a cat, I have nine lives. My first was lived in a cloak of adolescent invisibility—that nerd who played in the band and taught swimming. Good grief, I was even a Girl Scout until graduation from high school. My second lifetime was spent taking my clothes off on stages from Nova Scotia to Puerto Rico and everywhere in between. The third life was spent doing penance for it as a Sunday School teacher and the church pianist in an uptight, little church. So far, my current life- the fourth, is my favorite. I'm the bad grandma who never follows rules. I'm the crazy aunt who makes my relatives blush and is writing books about the years in my second life.

You may know me as tinad but it's really Tina D'Angelo
