My interests include reading, writing, tequila, music, the law, smart funny honest men with hairy chests, the news, shopping, cooking, red wine, road trips, relaxing, and a snappy dialog. And you, baby. I'll make sure it's all about you!
I'd like to meet a man that looks like Sergio Castellitto. He'd be a smart funny honest guy with hairy chest and able to string words together in email or conversation. I'd like to meet a space alien just because. I'd like to meet Mohammad, Jesus, Confucius and Buddha for a little chit chat. I'd like to meet Larry McMurtrey for dinner, then have drinks with Anthony Bourdain and coffee with my grandmother Sarah. I'd like to meet the 1800+ people reading my blogs. I'd like to meet Pablo Neruda and tell him he's the best - and tell him in fluent Spanish. I would like to meet honest people that don't lie or cheat or steal. And I would like to meet each and every one of you and give you all a great big hug!!
