Welcome

My name is softdrink. Or fizzybeverage. If you're feeling formal, you can call me Jill. But if you hang out long enough, you'll discover I'm not all that formal.
I live on the Central Coast of California with my boyfriend of 18 years (yes, that makes me feel old and no, we're not getting married), hamburger. Get it...hamburger and softdrink? Aw, come on, admit it, you have a cutesy name, too.
My favorite things are books and travel. So that is mostly what I write about. The rest of it is just crap.

Words to Live By
In a real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish. ~S.I. Hayakawa
The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
~St. Augustine
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.
~Mark Twain
