I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


Recently moved back last year to the small town in which I grew up after living in the city for more than a decade. Getting readjusted to the space and pace of things in the area and am looking for friendships in the area. Willing to try new things, sometimes shy in conversation but make up for it in actions . . . am better at meeting people face to face . . . Able to adapt to many situations and can usually find the positive in most everyone and anything . . . easygoing ..

My Interests



Especially love listening to music, attending concerts, long weekends in the city (Philly, Washington, Baltimore, NYC) . . . love spending leisurely afternoons or evenings at the ballpark (huge fan of the Phillies) . . . eating out at neighborhood bars and restaraunts . . . exploring new areas. . . pop culture and entertainment . . . love to do outdoor activities as well, from gardening to hiking in the nearby woods.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is willing to share similar interests or introduce me to theirs. Someone who is passionate, opinionated, and who is willing to try new sights and sounds as well as relive favorites. People to move forward with, make things better and enjoy life to the utmost . . .




..

Music:

Most categories of music. Music makes my world go around and has been essential in shaping my life . . . grew up on classic rock, r & b, soul, and jazz. Enjoy some pop as well. I am always open to listening to new bands or new material by older artists. Enjoy going to concert venues and listening to live music as much as possible. Saw Bob Dylan, Steely Dan, and The Police this past summer and they were all worth my price of admission.

Movies:

Love to take in movies on the big screen. Catch up with Netflix.

Television:

Food Shows & Competitions . . . Survivor . . . Jon & Kate + 8 . . . HGTV . . . Around the Horn & PTI when I have a little time to spare.

Books:

I am getting back to reading books as I am trying to find the time. The Alienist was a good crime story.

Heroes:

My parents (for their loyalty and love for each other) . . . anyone who has struggled with adversity and who has not given up on themselves or others . . . family and friends who have compassion and understanding through the most trying of times
