I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints...

About Me

I'm "FiveTenGal" because of my height (and my former area code) -- nothing to do with ten gallon hats or dime stores!Born in Chicago. Tucson, Arizona is home now, after many years in the San Francisco Bay Area. ..

In the immortal words of Jimmy Buffett:


My Interests

Good Things:Trace Adkins

Dogs (especially my Harley) The Bellagio fountains SaguarosBreakfast at Duke's in Waikiki Did I mention Trace?Playing blackjack Walking in Manhattan A day game at Wrigley FieldOh yeah, there's Trace...
Elephants A can't-put-it-down legal thriller Parrothead madness at a Buffett show Dry heat Bowling Shark Attacks at the Tropical Isle on Bourbon Street Needlepointing & beading A medium rare filet mignon A perfect Margarita (or even an ordinary one!) Laughing my ass off...

I'd like to meet:



Well, I have, briefly, twice. I'm still in the Trace Trance from the experience and I want MORE! If you've ever met him or been to a concert, you know EXACTLY what I mean!I also enjoy meeting, online and in real life, fellow Trace fans and Parrotheads and people who are fun, sharp and have a big streak of smartass in them...

Music:

Trace Adkins!And Jimmy Buffett and Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel and Phil Vassar and Radney Foster and Pat Green and Chris Young

and the Eagles and Mark Mulligan

and MANY other country and rock artists. Just keep that rap and classical music and opera FAR away from me!

Movies:

Far too many to list, but I think the best movie ever made is "The Godfather." Must-have DVD's -- "The Blues Brothers,"

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "Jaws,", and of course the ones with Trace's videos!

Television:


24

The Sopranos, Gray's Anatomy, The Amazing Race, Survivor, Rescue Me, House

Dancing With the Stars, Boston Legal, American Idol (I can't help myself...gotta watch it). Lots more. Too much more.

Books:

Stephen King,Jonathan Kellerman, Steve Martini, Paul Levine, Carl Hiassen, Lisa Scottoline...lots more.

Heroes:

People who are devoted to helping and saving animals, among them the brave and selfless men and women who went into Katrina-ravaged New Orleans to rescue so many beloved pets who were left on their own during a terrible time.
