Light to our  Senior Entrepreneurial Group of creative, inventive seniors who have written, invented or started a service that improves the quality of life - of other seniors, their family members and the world in general.Who is Jamdealie D. Light?Hi folks! Allow me to introduce myself. Although I work at Mel's Diner, I also love to visit with the elderly that may happen to live in a nursing home or an assisted living facility. In fact, I love to share joy through laughter and physical comedy with anyone that is especially lonely. I truly believe that everyone needs to laugh with or at someone at least once a day!You can scroll down this page to review all the types of clowning visits I specialize in now that I've graduated from the Ohio Clown College.

I am the eldest of 5 children born to Eeyore and Joplin D. Light. I was a surprise birth and when pressured for a name on the birth certificate, daddy blurted out, “Uh, Uh, Oh, You know … Jamdealie or something like that.” It was suppose to be a temporary name but it stuck. It’s a word that one uses when you can’t think of the word you wanted to use, like that thingamajig. My middle initial stands for Din – which was my great grandfathers name. It means ‘wolf’. I was born in the most perfect year of 1957. It is perfect because? I’m glad you asked. 1957 is the year of the Rooster in Chinese Astrology – roosters rule and I love to rule! I have a sultry little walk swinging my hips with a little bit of attitude. When I’m standing talking with you, I continue to swing my bottom. It’s not a nervous twitch. I am multi-tasking. See, when I’m talking with you, or simply in thought, I get my aerobic exercise in all at the same time. Part of my diet don’t ya know. The way my body moves is different at work than it is at home. At home, it doesn’t really matter if I fall down or walk in to a wall. My family’s quite used to it. But working at the diner takes some concentrated effort. I’ve had more than one trucker leave me a tip for accidentally dropping a tray full of food on the lap of the church ladies that come in and order me around till I’m silly. For some odd reason, what my brain tells my body to do ends up working in 2 halves. The top part of my body does one thing and the bottom part of my body does the other. If this bothers you, then just watch one end or the other. Honestly, I’m a wee bit shy walking and talking at the same time, but if you throw on some ‘50’s music – I can step in time and listening to the beat helps me keep somewhat grounded. It’s something I’ve had to learn since I’m required to dance at the diner anytime someone drops a nickel in to the jukebox. I can do it pretty good but I do tend to feel a wee bit sea sick if I make too many turns or if I twist too long. My regulars know not to play anything that makes me do the twist as I may end up serving what I ate yesterday on their platters. It’s gross I know, but we do have a caution sign above the jukebox now. Jamdealie's HobbiesI’m learning, in my spare time, how to do Tai Chi and Yoga. I don’t take formal classes anymore since the masters in my town have all gotten together and blackballed me. Seems they weren’t the ‘centered accessioned beings’ as they let folks believe. I mean really, if they were, little ‘ol me surely couldn’t have been the reason for all those tears. So, I bought a couple of tapes and I’m learning on my own. Why? I’m glad you asked.I have a great desire to become the first female Cheez Whiz Master which will not only give me a little more status in my town of Dreamwerks, it will provide me with the ability to become a distributor of all that is Cheez. Tai Chi classes are an important first step in learning how to curl and tie chi, which is the singular use of the word, cheez. As far as my desire to learn Yoga, well that’s kinda obvious. We’re licensed to sell only a select amount of dairy products at the diner right now and adding yogurt based drinks will help us increase a more diverse cliental. We could make yoga smoothies, yoga pudding, yoga shakes and even offer yoga jellies.
