there are four things in this world that make my life wonderful. first is music - my lifesource, my sustinence. i'm not an artist... just a lover of music. someone with a real appreciation for the creative process, from the first smoldering in one's soul to the final track laid on an album. second is sport - no, i don't follow it closely, but am fascinated by the psychological aspects involved (even led me to a college degree... go figure). next is men - no explanation required there. and above all is my family - my support and my life, especially my baby girl who is the coolest little kid anyone could ever hope for.
