My Interests

brina's wealth of learning, seeing things for the first time again and again, running around in the backyard, watercoloring on the side of the house, hikes through griffith, boat rides in the marina, snorkling in maui, sliding down head first, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, rollerblading down hermosa, lobster at morton's, drives up the coast, ice bergs of alaska, lights of fremont, ocean view from our balcony, chairs and tables, smile, laugh, drink, eat, then smile again, pure bliss, and yet there's more to life than we know.
