I am divorced with nine children. Five of my kids are still at home, and I have some of them with me some of the time. I have worked hard and am enjoying a more relaxing season of life. I love humans, nature, music, and food, pretty much in that order. My kids are my favorite event, and anything live (music, theater, sports) is usually good for me. I love to ride my ebike! I believe the purpose of life is to let go of fear and experience joy. Authentic sharing brings joy; just want to get to know you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate all kinds of music. Billy Joel, 70's and 80's pop, old rock classics, classical, country, etc. Favorite movies: When Harry Met Sally, Star Wars series, Sound of Music, Anne of Green Gables, The Kid, Friendly Persuasion, Marvel, Comedy/Romance/Adventure--I'm open. I like to support less mainstream movie- making. Love the James Herriot series, am currently reading Harry Potter series for first time, just grabbed a book off the shelf in Reykjavik Airport by Shirley Jackson and am enjoying it.
