Hey Hons!

About Me

I'm all about the hook-ups (but in the OLD turn of phrase, people! Please- NO solicitation PMs, okay, and I am NOT A MATCHMAKER FOR TOTAL STRANGERS- GOT IT!!??!)... I've hooked up friends from Baltimore to Bristol to Barcelona.(In the original sense of the phrase- meaning "TO INTRODUCE"). I've also looked up friends of friends from Bali to Sydney to London.I'm a never-be-smug married person now, but spent 36 years as a singleton, so am all about doin' my part to hook people up- whether as friends, work contacts, flirtations, travel partners, or other.I'm also a mostly former avid traveller and like having friends around the world.... more places to stay ;-) and also spread the wonderful word of Old Bay and Berger cookies...This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
