I have three kids and two cats (hoping to get a dog this August). I don't drink beer but find other adult beverages tasty. I don't like coffee but coffee is my favorite ice cream flavor. I love ethnic foods and any dessert is my friend. Politically conservative on many things (not the environment or corporate responsibility) but an Independent when it comes to voting. I love to travel and have been to all states except South Dakota and Alaska. I've also spent time outside the US: Okinowa, Swaziland, Turkey, Lithuania, Austria, England, Scotland, Israel, US Virgin Islands, China, Canada and Mexico. I'm going to Paris this summer and Madrid in November :)

I like most music. Everything from classical, jazz, Beatles, old rock, current pop music (but not rap). I usually just flip radio stations till I find what I like and listen to it. I'm not much of a follower of particular artists.

I don't watch TV. I don't have cable or reception so all I can get is FOX. 'Nough said. When I did have TV, I enjoyed British comedies, The Red Green Show, Mystery and other geeky things on PBS.

Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"
