About Alexandra Heep

About Alexandra Heep: While many still think technology makes people dumber or keeps them apart, it has allowed allowed me to maintain a semblance of life when stricken unexpectedly with a disability. The Internet is a lifeline which not only allows me to remain connected to friends, but also survive, via writing. And I found my boyfriend there and was able to relocate because of him. While Alexandra Heep is my pen name, I do not hide behind it. Instead, I used it to brand myself on the Internet and to create opportunities. I write mostly for and through Helium.com.

I published my first book, a collection of my best poems, on July 11, 2012. You can buy it at Lulu.com

Human Versus Cat Round 1

Remember when I posted about my cat making NASCAR fantasy picks? Well, here are the results for the race on March 17 in Bristol:

Gracie

Car 13: 58 points
Car 15: 39 points
Car 42: 14 points
Car 33: 11 points
Car 99: 26 points

For a total of 148 points and rank #1000 out of 1068 and a 6.5 percentile. That is not bad, considering this was race 4 of the season and her points are counted against all others who played all races.

Me

Car 18: 86 points
Car 20: 10 points
Car 11: 23 points
Car 24: 11 points
Car 75: 41 points

For a total of 171 points and rank #283 out of 380 and a 25 percentile.

Conny, I answered you on FB.
Alex, I was doing really good for the first 3/4 of the race. Then two of my cars (good drivers) took each other out.
