I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. Oscar Wilde

About Me

I keep moving-can't seem to settle in one place. South Dakota to New Mexico to Iowa to New York State and now in NYC/New Jersey. I really need to stay put in one place but I just can't seem to. On Saturday's in the fall you will find me glued to the television to catch the latest Hawkeye game-yes, I am crazy that way but what can I say-once a hawkeye always a hawkeye. Now I just need to find me some salsa clubs and a good pub in NYC and I will be good to go..

My Interests

soccer, collegiant sports, rereading the classics, classic cars (hello, 1954 Jag and 1963-6 Ford Mustang), enjoying the arts (music, theatre, etc), traveling, hanging out with friends, and trying to maintain my spanish.

I'd like to meet:

People who like a good laugh, love a discussion, and can do both with a good glass of wine. It can't hurt if you are a college sports fan or have an avid interest in american politics...

Music:

love it all

Movies:

Good Movies but I love slapstic, action (if it goes boom, I am there) and dry humor

Television:

tv crack which i include john stewart, anderson cooper, and keith olbermann in

Books:

any written word...but I have an obsession with nonfiction (history, religion, science) and with book candy that doesn't make me think.

Heroes:

wonderwoman....what were they suppose to be real?If you want real...my grandfathers, they taught me about who I should be, and my roomie because to come out of all that crap and still be innately good..I don't know anyone else who could do that.

My Blog

My time with my dad was a lot of fun and I think a salve of a sort. We spend part of Sunday and monday meander Manhattan-doing the tourist thing without being overtly touristy. We walked to Rockefelle...

Random

Occasionally I have this urge to wonder where I might be if I had done things in my life differently. Not that I regret any of the turns in my path-at times they were necessary, at others they shed ...
