My family, gardening, music, photography, theater, vacationing, walking, fishing - most things that end in "ing" work fine for me. ;-)
Wouldn't it be more interesting to hear about who I HAVE met? I won't go into detail because I feel some things are better to listen to "IRL" because the stories that go behind these meetings are quite entertaining. Here's my top encounters: Stevie Nicks, James Taylor, Jackson Browne x 5, Carly Simon x 2, Rickie Lee Jones, Nicholas Sparks, Hume Cronyn and my amazing husband and lovely daughters... not necessarily in that order.circa 1988circa 1968 11/10/06 - JT at the Beacon JK Josh R.

Anything written by: Nicholas Sparks, Sue Miller, Larry McMurtry, Anne Tyler, Fannie Flagg, Elizabeth Berg, Annie Proulx and Lisa Wingate. Oh, and I better throw my hubby in there too since he co-wrote a self-help book entitled, "Living Well With Asthma" (with a lot of patience and perserverance from his wife) ;-)
My grandmother "Gram" - for teaching me to love life, myself and music. My father-in-law "Poppy" - who survived two concentration camps, for helping me to keep perspective of what's most important ~ family, friends, faith and the future."When people change your life ~ you remember who they are... Perfection's in perception and it's what you make of it." SKBrandy & her ball ~ circa 1982
