| Introduction | Army brat who started school in Japan. Born in Spokane, and San Francisco is my "Home". Lived lots and traveled lots more. With travel being what it is these days, I'm happy enough to hang out in the Dezzert, though I miss the diverse food of the great cities. My Practice Husband is Greek and we are still friends. I've been married to an Italian from Torino for 36 years. Grandmother to eight and mother to none by choice. Let someone else raise the little darlings. Collect photography and am actively involved with a number of museums and arts organizations. Have engaged in a variety of wildly diverse occupations. It is my considered opinion that exercise prolongs life at the wrong end of the spectrum. My idea of camping is a stay at the Ahwahnee. Drove a 280SL for 18 years and have been driving an XK8 for 15. When I find something I like, I stick with it. Exception: computers and tech stuff...total user (read addict). Motto: You have all of eternity to be skinny and sober. |
