MUSIC, MUSIC, and more MUSIC! As well as art. I love to take photographs and paint in watercolours. I currently have 4 of my 16 X 20 photos on show at The Arts Building in Long Valley, NJ. I enjoy going to art gallery's all over the world. I have recently seen Baryshnikov in "Beckett Shorts" a limited run engagement in NYC. Very good. I enjoy reading..especially when i can sit outside in beautiful weather (sunny, low 70's and no humidity) like it is in my favourite time of the year (spring/summer and autumn). I enjoy bookgroup discussion's and talking to intelligent people who think for themselves! Volunteer work is important as well as giving back to the community. Every person CAN make a difference!
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who can answer all my questions!

Movies:
Saw a plethora of really good, cool, wonderful movies! "Juno" was an absolute delight, everything about it was good! "P.S. I Love You" was also good, a little slow in spots. "
Atonement" was fabulous because of James McAvoy, it also helps if you have already read the wonderful book by Ian McEwan, which was so visual, descriptive and absolute joy to read! Just saw "The Bank Job" and enjoyed that also. Just watched "Across the Universe" delightful. Also saw "American Gangster", "Tsotsi" and "Penelope"
Television:
New Amsterdam! American Idol! Catching up on DVD's that I own but have never watched!
Books:
Loved "The Post Birthday World" by Lionel Shriver and "The Monsters of Templeton" by Lauren Groff.
Heroes:
My heroes are people who think for themselves and stick up for what is right! People who are compassionate and loyal. My daughter!
