My Interests

I enjoy reading, watching television, working word puzzles, listening to music, and messing around on the computer.

My sister and I on Christmas Eve:



A POWERFUL MESSAGE:

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to see my mom again, but it'll have to be in heaven! She was an artist, and these pictures remind me of her work.

Music:



I like a wide variety of music styles. My favorite artists are Sophie Zelmani, David Gray, and Enya. Two more that I enjoy listening to, Sarah McLachlan and Josh Groban, sing this beautiful song together:

Movies:

Again, variety is the theme! I love movies and watch a lot, usually on DVD. Here are a few: Star Wars (all but episode 1 -- hated that!), most of the Star Treks, all 3 Lord of the Rings, all the Spider-Man movies, The Chronicles of Narnia, Timeline, Serenity, Transformers, all the Harry Potter movies, Blast from the Past, Pleasantville, the first 2 Pirates of the Caribbean, Titanic, Total Recall, A Knight's Tale, Reign of Fire, Finding Nemo, all the Shreks, and on and on.....

Television:

I enjoy reality shows such as The Amazing Race, So You Think You Can Dance, Big Brother, Beauty and the Geek, Survivor, and Dancing with the Stars. My favorite non-reality show, which I absolutely will not miss is "Smallville."
I have an extensive DVD collection of several series including Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, the original Star Trek series, Andromeda, The Lost World, and Firefly.
Moonlight

Books:

I'm an avid reader and always have several books going at once. I love all the books Jon Katz has written about his dogs. My favorite genre is science fiction, and I absolutely love the Harry Potter series!

Heroes:

Family members, friends, teachers, everyone who has had to go through chemo

SHOWING SOME LOVE!

A real treat -- Josh Groban singing "Mi Mancherai"

Maverick

I love dogs and have to pet every one I see (although I am careful to make sure they’re okay with that before I pet them).  I know animals don’t have souls like humans do, but there i...

Time and Gerbils

I can't quite get a handle on "time."  It keeps passing by faster than a speeding bullet.  It doesn't matter whether I'm busy or whether I'm lazy, it just speeds right along.  I wish it...

Tis the Season!

As many of you know, I have had Shingles on my scalp and face since my last post.  I didn't feel good most of Thanksgiving week, I think because the doctor had put me on antibiotics which usually...
