About Me

i love wood burning fireplaces. i would much rather bring in the wood, stoke the fire, clean up the mess, and watch the flames dance than to flip on a switch and have instant warmth. i prefer older homes with character and charm along with all its' imperfections to newer homes. i prefer autumn to spring, a good book to tv, and the blue ridge mountains to almost anywhere.Drumming, juggling, golfing, dancing, interpreting, word puzzles and NPR. Sitting with friends in a hot tub on the deck of a log cabin in the mountains at night looking at the sky drinking a glass of santa margherita's pinot grigio; listening to harry chapin; writing, spending time with cherished friends and family, laughing and just being silly i enjoy learning new skills, whether that be pottery, welding, or glassblowing. if you wish, stop by and say hello!!

My Interests

pretty much covered this already but will reiterate some and add a few.i enjoy golfing, ( though i haven't broke a 100 yet ) drumming, going to the mountains, reading good books, dining on the deck looking out at the ocean, dancing, kayaking, playing pool, a good glass of wine, sitting by a pit fire at night with friends, going to pottery shops, browsing antique stores. i love finding unique items and making them functional pieces for my home. i love learning about different cultural and spiritual beliefs and more..s, and doing word puzzles. i used to love participating in more activities like biking and snow skiing, but bum knees have put a halt to all things terribly active these days :(

I'd like to meet:

i would like to meet those who truly believe that being kind to others is an important reason why we exist on this earth in this life. i enjoy being with people who are emotionally and spiritually grounded.i like hanging out with someone with whom i can engage in a variety of discussions: from the serious to the intellectual to the silly, and goofy.i enjoy people who are not too terribly uptight, are laid back and can sometimes just roll with the punches.

Music:

if there's a beat...i'm dancin' ---i enjoy a variety of music from jazz, to country to hiphop. some particular favourites are: harry chapin, rusted root, keb mo, enya, indigo girls, tracy chapman, jim croce, bob marley, simon and garfunkal; carole king; and to go back to some of the earlier pioneer days of women's music - meg christian and holly near.

Movies:

rent; harold and maude; yes, the sound of music; scrooged; what about bob; -- will think of more later

Television:

tend to be a channel hopper as i don't really think there is much worth watching, but when i do, it is usually a pbs program or an old classics comedy sitcom. occassionally watch the food or travel network; discovery or history channel, and will sometimes watch " law and order" and "judging amy"

Books:

i usually have 4 or 5 books by my bed and read them all at the same time, picking up a different book each night to read. however, this sometimes confuses me and i get the stories mixed up ha! ( age.. heh )some favourites are:" crazed" ha jin " cunt" inga muscio "balzac and the little chinese seamstress" dai sijie " contact" carl sagan "executive orders" tom clancy ( still in progress taking me forever to read ) "angels and demons" dan brown "collection of poems" nikki giovanni

Heroes:
