Tag, I’m It and Have to Share

I've been tagged by Francois Gossieaux in the new blog tag game and am suppose to reveal five things about me that you don't know yet.

1. I was in a famous production of the Metropolitan Opera's Madame Butterfly; my role was the illegitimate child. ( No singing involved.)
2. My favorite writer is Ian MacEwan.
3. I'm convinced that more women than men will be leading countries and major universities within two decades, largely because women are  better at listening and making people feel heard.
4. My first job, at age 14, was writing obituaries and weddings for the Arlington (MA) Advocate.
5. I believe that better communication can change the world.

Now I get to tag five others:
