A little bit more about me:

• My last name is two words: Dimmit Smyth
• I was born in New Jersey, lived briefly in Arizona, but primarily grew up in southwest Missouri (the Ozarks, colloquially).
• I'm a huge soccer fan, and avidly watch the US Women's and Mens' National Teams, Sporting Kansas City, and OL Reign.
• My cat's name is Jane, and she was named for the character (and the book) Jane Eyre.
