I collect and study coins. I am currently collecting American Colonial coins, early Latin American coins and working on completeing a collection from the Belgian Congo (later Zaire). I go to karakoe frequently and have sung over 170 different songs and counting...see my Karaoke Blogs for details! Of course I enjoy music, good food, good movies, good conversation, outdoor activities, and working out. I like skiing but rarely get up on the hill. Love raquetball but have not played in a long time. I need to find a place nearby to play and a partner.I can't stand stupid people. I really think some people just should not be reproducing. Look around, you know what I mean. Yes, I am opinionated, as I think people ought to be. It's a sign of thinking for yourself. For better or worse at least have an opinion about most things.I grew up in Upstate NY and know about crappy weather. So I prefer beautiful California. Hard to beat the weather here, especially the bay area!I'd love to find a band to sing with! Check out my karaoke list on my blog to see what I like singing.
