I am here for Friends

About Me

YES CANCELLS 2008 CONCERT DUE TO JON ANDERSON'S ILLNESS. HE'S BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH RESPIRATORY FAILURE. I AM DISAPPOINTED, BUT MORE CONCERNED THAT JON RECOVERS. GET WELL, JON!I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Huge mountains overlook my fair city (mountains come out of the sky and stand there!). They are special, old friends of mine. All my life I have had the pleasure of waking up to them in the morning (if it's not foggy, which is very rare), and watching them change gorgeous colors in the evening. During a full moon they glow a mysterious gray. Anyway, I love living here. It's a great place to camp, bike, hike, ski, and whatever else one would love to do in the mountains. I have been married for 33 years. I have been blessed with a guy who has stuck with me through thick and thin. He's my best friend and the love of my life. I have three great kids. My daughter, age 27, my son-in-law, age 29, and my son, age 16. They are the joy of my life. I am a cancer survivor since 1986. The trial taught me to appreciate God, life, and loved ones even more. Every day is a gift. I want to live it the way God intended me to live it.

My Interests

I love music of all kinds; classical, jazz, rock, metal, some pop, cultural, even a little country (sometimes!). I have been playing piano and singing since I was a kid. I have been a part of many choirs and even a band once upon a time. I am not a professional, but I have a lot of fun with it! I love to read and write. I have been working on a novel for two years... maybe someday I will finish! I also enjoy writing poetry and some composing (although it has been a while). I also have an interest in antiques and collectibles, history, art, science, religion, ...anything that arouses the curiosity! As you may have noticed, I love cats. Maybe because I can never remember a time in my life when I didn't own one. Right now I own three fantastic cats, Coco, Pounce, and Rufus. They are a true comfort to me, I can't imagine life without them!

I'd like to meet:

JESUS is the top of my list. He has always been by my side since I was a child, so even though I know him, I still look forward to meeting Him face to face one day!*******I've already had the pleasure of meeting my favorite band, Yes, a few times... all except for Alan White! He's just never been around when I've met the others. So, he is one I'd still like to meet. I'd also love to meet all the guys of CIRCA, and of course any other of my many musical heroes.

Music:

Music plays a huge role in my life! Progressive rock is my favorite. Yes is my favorite band of all time. I also enjoy Genesis, Renaissance, Jethro Tull, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Camel, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, King Crimson, Deep Purple, Moody Blues, Rush, Fleetwood Mac, Kansas, Pink Floyd, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Devo, Talking Heads, even Abba... just to mention a Few! And while I'm at it... LET ME INTRODUCE A BAND YES FANS WOULD LOVE! Check out their My Space Profile!

Tony Kaye, Billy Sherwood, Alan White, Jimmy Haun
Billy Sherwood, Tony Kaye and Alan White have been or are now Yes members. Besides all being awesome musicians and writers, their sound is very unique! They are also impressive LIVE performers... if you get a chance, go see them, and YOU MUST GET THEIR NEW LIVE DVD! YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!!!

Movies:

Many! I can only mention a few... Napoleon Dynamite, Edward Scissorhands, Red Dawn, This is Spinal Tap. I love the really old, old movies (even the silent ones), and I like spooky, mystery-type movies.

Television:

Old, old movies, History channel, Discovery channel, medical shows, National Geographic channel, forensic and crime shows.

Books:

Bible, crime books, biographies and auto-biographies, mysteries. I read many books by Dean Koontz.
