Introduction	Voracious reader. Love to unearth new stories. Love to cook and bake. Tend to get hotly involved in civic and national issues. Health care currently on my "watch list." Boston Celtics fan since the Havlicek days. Interrupted when Bird et al left. Resumed when Pierce et al took center stage. My "Life's Big Lesson": Let your kids make their own mistakes and -- we can only hope -- learn from them. Singers like Paul Potts & Susan Boyle raise up my spirits and inspire my concern for their well-being.

Which is more important to you and why: flexibility or expandability?

Flexibility. It opens up more creative avenues.
