About Me

WHAT I LIKE: tennis, art, books, photography, hot bowls of soup, wine, new socks, ballparks, the race track (Emerald Downs), blogging and reading blogs, warm towels out of the dryer, hiking, nicely made bed with flannel sheets in the winter and cotton in the summer, autumn, the sound of running water, listening to a great rock song while driving, strawberries, those little cucumber sandwiches, the way my hair feels after the salon, sometimes just hanging out with MYSELF, Sunday mornings with everyone I love, cream cheese, any cheese, sitting in front of a warm fire, cookouts, hot cider, tea, dining out, room service, the ocean, breathing, my kids and being me.

My Interests

Married with 3 rugrats..I mean children, I love tennis and motor sports. Art,I collect reproductions of Ansel Adams prints. I am totally, yeah I said totally, facinated with the works of Jean-Michel Bisquiat, I always considered his painting style to be somewhere in between Neo-expressionism and Primitive, who knows maybe one day I'll be able to get my hands on one of his originals. My favorite artist of all is Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
