CURRENT MISSION

To get to know interesting people from anywhere in the world. We love to travel, but that's not happening at the moment! We're openminded and up for interesting new opportunities.

ABOUT ME

Married with children! We have seven children between us and ten grandchildren. Wow, that makes me feel old but we're really very young grandparents! I work too much and don't exercise enough. We love to be outdoors, and my favorite kind of vacation is one that involves seeing, doing, and learning as much as possible about the places we see. It's hard for me to get excited about politics although I wouldn't consider it off limits for discussion. Same for religious ideology. Fascinated by the subject but turned off by some of our interpretations. Love a great conversation, laughing about anything, cool music, and a nice relaxing cocktail!

PHILOSOPHY

1) Do the right thing.
2) Be as honest with yourself and others as possible.
3) Find humor whenever or wherever you can.
4) Don't take yourself or others too seriously.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music, movies, and books! I'll listen to nearly any kind of music--rap and country, not so much! We see at least one movie a week. Horror and "stupid guy movies" like Jackass are my least favorite, however, my husband loves them! I love books--spending hours in any kind of bookstore would be my idea of a good time. Sadly, I am permanently glued to my laptop with neverending work and have devoted very little time to personal reading. I do try to find time to read Vanity Fair and browsing news articles on the internet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying over the Alaskan range in a small plane with my husband and two sons--landing on a glacier near the base of Mt. McKinley. We got out and walked around, the stunningly beautiful silence was incredible!
