Let's not go to Camelot. Tis a silly place.

About Me

I like whisky. I like scotch...even scotch whisky, but it'd better be at *least* 12 years aged. I play softball (2nd base) with my company team. My jersey number? 44. And you'd better not ask me "Reggie?" b/c Hank Aaron was the only no. 44. I write for myself (www.socgrrrl.squarespace.com) and for a friend's baseball zine called Zisk. I believe you can pick up a copy at Tower Records. My favorite place to travel is Ireland but I'm looking forward to discovering Iceland and the Czech Republic and anywhere else. I love Father Ted and have found his house in the Burren in Co. Clare. I like wandering around NYC neighborhoods which I'm not familiar. I'm part Canadian so of course I love hockey. The Detroit Red Wings are my team. Oh, and I find curling amusing and am oddly attracted to CBC news. I have Julian Bond's autograph...and if you can tell me who he is, well, then you know your history.

My Interests

Going to see bands, watching baseball, hockey, or college football, and playing softball. Yes, I like SportsCenter. Also like, Dali, Monet, Warhol, Ed Gorey, Frank Miller, photography, going to the gym, Bauhaus, the Supreme Court, crocheting, camping, hiking, fitness, love to write, blah, blah, blah...
