I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I live with Molly aka the Trail Goddess, member of the Sierra Club and the Purple Toes Club, an opposite-of-Martha-Stewart housewife who has a cervical degenerative disc disease disability that forced her to retire early. The hardest part has been mourning the loss of some of the most fun things she can't do anymore, skiing, horseback riding, rollerblading, riding a bike, and just being more active in general. Thankfully, she can walk and hike, which has become our new passion. I'm also thankful for her supportive and loving Hubby, one of the hardest working people I know, great stepchildren, and an awesome grandaughter, whom I love to play with. We go for walks almost every day and hike many local trails with a hiking group, so far made up of some girlfriends, The Sistas. Occasionally, others join us. We're open to allowing new sistas or bros into the group who are willing to accept the rite of passage and terms and conditions: Jumping into the ocean at Torrey Pines after hiking, and all discussions during the hike are sworn to secrecy!

My Interests
