I am here for Friends

About Me

Married to my good and perfect gift and we live in Lakewood, sharing our home with our dogs Rock, Suga, Miguel, Monty and Shadow). My loving and incredible Moses passed away in 2007 and my world is just not the same. You can see some photos of him in the picture area. Mike is an orchestra teacher and I am the Director of Development at Boulder County AIDS Project. We are both vegans and do our best to be a voice for the voiceless, including animals. We also try our best to live lives that do not create suffering for other living beings. We own a business called Cruelty-Free World and sell non-leather purses, bags and wallets, hemp flip-flops, vegan cook books and other funky items not made from animal products or in a sweatshop. I believe that we all have much more in common than not.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mike and I have created a wonderful sanctuary/home in Lakewood and I love spending time there. I love to spend time with other people who are trying to make the world a better place for all. I love casual bike rides around town and just hanging out with friends.We also love to listen to live music and are fortunate to live in an area where that is possible. I like Latin music and Mike likes jazz and classical so if you know of a good band that is playing locally let us know.I love backpacking and traveling, especially in Central and South America and Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks here in the States. I love Colombia and was fortunate to have been able to live in Santa Marta.We also like cards, especially euchre.I am also starting to play raquetball again. I'm not the best player but love the game. If you play, let's connect.

Another fur protest and another example of how our so-called free speech is nowhere to be found. After the hired Denver police officer said to me "you don't want to make me angry" I realized that our ...
