I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Born in Texas. Grew up in Nebraska, went to university in Texas, then Kansas. Began my career back in Dallas, then in New York City, Bangkok, Thailand, Singapore and back to NYC again. Now, after all that globe-hopping, I'm ready to settle down in little 'ol Gainesville, Florida. Whew! And I'm not even in the military.

My Interests

Diverse interests including but not limited to: cultural topics, traveling Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong), Florida beaches, the arts (photography, painting, theatre, movies), architecture, diagnostic medical imaging, sonography, radiography, CT scanning.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who likes to share from any of the *interest* topics, always welcome! Always curious to know whatever happened to Natalie Ritzman?

Music:

In no particular order: U2, INXS, John Mellencamp, Springsteen, Macy Gray, George Benson, Pat Metheny, Bossa Nova, Andrea Bocelli, Segovia, Enya, Tracy Chapman, Cocteau Twins, southern rock, jazz, classical and opera.

Movies:

Mostly something with intrigue and suspense, sometimes with humour: Amelie, Matrix, Terminator, Independence Day, Usual Suspects, Lawrence of Arabia, Reds, The Last Emperor, The King & I, Team America, The Incredibles, Jet Li, Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Pierce Prosnan, Pirates of the Caribbean, Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Sholin Football, Kung Fu Showdown.

Television:

Former West Wing addict; now lucky to see some travel, food or medical shows. CNN & ABC/NBC/CBS Evening News is a must. Always trying to beat that darned "Head ON" commercial with the mute button!

Books:

Back to school books for the time-being!

Heroes:

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin captured my facination in grade school; Jim Ryan got me through track in high school; Georgia O'Keefe and a plethora of fine artists and commercial artists shined the way for me during college and into my early professional years. Kept a special place in my heart for MLK and was always a big fan of Joseph Campbell too!

The stunningly beautiful woman who relies on her beauty to create or exploit opportunities to advance herself:

At thirty-two, she does not know about forty, and she is unprepared for the time when she will actually have to know something in order to have people listen to her. Her penalty is that the men she at...
