The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

My Interests

My family and true friends, learning Deutsch, ignoring my sugar addiction, traveling when I have the time and money, discount morning movies, playing piano, reading, finishing school, knowing it's never too late to learn more and take new paths, my cats, etc.

Anyone who's not a racist or a bigot. I would also like to meet Tim Gunn and Barack Obama. One the other side I'd like to bump into Oscar Wilde.

The list goes on and on and on.....
