Who is the Well Seasoned Woman?

Can I make a suggestion?

A former wild child living in Southeast Alaska, currently a self-described “spawned out old broad,” the WSW still believes in Santa, is still a hellion at heart, and still yearns to build a still in the basement so she can finally do something productive down there besides laundry.   Her greatest claim to fame is the one child (that she knows of), her lovely and equally ornery daughter, Calamity Jr.  For some uncanny reason, this fruit of her womb not only claims her, she occasionally phones or IM’s from college just to chat!

A longtime single mother experiencing occasional interludes of marriage further peppered with meaningless-yet-oddly-romantic liaisons involving potential future ex-husbands, the WSW has been a bona fide job-slut in the workforce.  Not exactly the epitome of commitment, a few of her less-unsavory  vocations have included operating a contract boat and house painting business, rock wall construction laborer, bartender, library assistant, fitness trainer, rock rabbit in a gold mine, recreation aide, postal clerk, log-peeler, horse-stall cleaner, and many years of Alaska commercial fishing.  She most recently served as a production assistant on a movie set and was equally thrilled to receive a little check from a big mouse named Mickey.

The WSW adores the woods, the beach, the library, and rain. Although current on global issues, she rather prefers procuring headline news from the likes of Leno. Partial to angsty music and happy people, she attributes her (quote/unquote) sanity to a steady flow of comedy, the slightest trickle of whiskey, and the best dang fan club on the planet.
