mostly it's women. No, wait....yep it's women. BUT, also it's news, politics, the internet and giving my time to help those not as lucky as I have been.
Marylyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, Janis Joplin and especially Dorothy Parker...OK. They're dead. But I would have loved to meet them

"The Jungle" is my favorite. "The Portable Dorothy Parker." "Catch 22." Right now I'm reading "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. Mostly non-fiction. I'm a history nut and love biographies.
My dear friend Patty. She lost her long fight with cancer April 18th at the age of 57. Through it all, she always made me laugh. Her strength and outlook on life has changed my own perception and I will love her and miss her forever.
