One of my greatest pastimes is movies, (especially big, long epics). Rock music is a huge part of life. I love barge ski trips. My sport to watch is pro football, and I'm picking up rugby. My team is and always will be the 49ERS. Warriors and Sharks rule too. I'm sort of a history/geography buff. I love languages and the study of linguistics. I have studied Spanish for muchos años. I love to travel, and I've always been fascinated with world cultures.
