Introduction Born to a family surpassing "The Munsters", I endured most of the unthinkable, and came out alive at 21. Lived a bit, almost became a Playboy Bunny, but married a musician instead. Two grown sons (if they ever really "grow up"). Daniel Joseph, a jet pilot and Zachary David, a musical genius. I thought I did good. I raised them to know what they wanted and go and get it. Be kind along the way and love as much as possible.
Interests running, hiking, writing, singing, reading, things Asian, playing, breathing clean fresh air as often as I possibly can
Favorite Movies Wuthering Heights, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, "The Holiday", "Serendipity", "Fried Green Tomatoes"......Criminal Minds, CSI SVU, House
