| Favorite movies | There was a time in my life when I would have listed a number of Buneul and Bergmann films, but those days are a lifetime passed. I rarely have the time to watch any movie above a PG-13 rating but I do love "Memoirs of a Geisha," "What the Bleep," "Gods and Monsters," any of the "Ocean's 11" series (that's the woman in me, not the film critic), "Brian's Song," "Singing in the Rain" and a few flicks I'm not bold enough to mention publically even if my kids are proud that I enjoy them. |
| Favorite music | I have very eclectic taste in music. The only genres I don't readily seek out are country and opera. If my CD changer was working it would have G Love and Special Sauce, Missy Elliot, Dan Dyer, a multitude of Putymayo selections, AC/DC, The Ramones, ZZ Top, Melissa Etheridge, Maroon 5, Jimmy Hendrix, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, The Who, Buckcherry, BB King, Nat King Cole, Jet, Lenny Kravitz, Bonnie Raitt, Amy Steinberg....My friends say I'm a musical Sybil. |
| Favorite books | The Four Agreements, Phenomenal Woman (really a long poem), Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now, Secret Life of Bees, Balm of Gilead, God's Bits of Wood, and the one I'm writing. |
When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?
Oh God NO! There is quite a list of things in this life that I absolutely love and it includes my kids, tiramasu, drumming, writing and swimming. I was swimming before I could walk and, to this day, it's one of those things I'm damn good at that I love doing.
