About Me

___________________________________________________________ I like to go see live bands play and maybe get some dancing in too. Swing dancing is fun. At various times in my life I've had ballet, international folk dancing, jewish folk dancing, and country line dancing lessons. I like to go out and have some drinks and get crazy every now and then. I like to go to most sporting events. Hockey is my favorite sport. Go Thunder!! I love music and instruments. I've had flute, violin, and piano lessons. Play around sometimes on the ukulele, trumpet, harmonica. I like to go to museums, watch foreign movies, see art, sometimes make art. I like foreign languages. I have two teenage boys who are the greatest. Usually. They love music and instruments as well. And video games of course. Anything else you want to know? Ask me.ABOVE: Kaye Bohler in action.
