兴趣

I do love to travel in the "shoulder times" : April, May, Sept., October. .I like to immerse myself in the local culture of restaurants, Art, architecture, nice people and Baseball stadiums with character (like Fenway, Wrigley).Major parades I've seen and may again are the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena and the Carribean Labor Day one in Brooklyn!

音乐、电影和书籍

I like Mystery movies with a twist. Some examples are "Deja VU" (Denzel) and " 7 pounds". I have taped about 250 movies to show anyone at my home from the list in alphabetical order! I like easy listening music, R & B,etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've been in all BUT 3 of the 50 States.First on the list is witnessing the birth of my daughter in 1985, who now is a Pediatrician herself ! STanding in the Sistine Chapel and looking at the ceiling in the Vatican was awesome! Best scenes in the States were seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time and watching my friends surf the Banzei pipeline on the coast of Oahu, Hawaii at 6 am!
