About Me

Joy Bugaloo: I am a college professor (speech communication, media and film studies) in a small town in northern New York on Lake Champlain, across from Burlington, VT and just south of Quebec. I live on 1.2 acres in a 117-year-old house formerly known as The Ponderosa Horse Farm where I can have big gardens and lots of animals (two dogs and four cats at present).
