Introduction I have a BA in Literature, an MA in Theological Studies,used to teach high school English and Comparative World Religions, love my family like crazy, my dogs more than i thought possible, love to laugh and listen to people's life stories, just fulfilled my dream of moving to the country with my family, having chickens, a garden, a horse or two and making an honest living working with my hands. Turns out, though, that hand-work doesn't pay too well. So, what else I will do for money is a mystery!
Interests Reading, writing, history, movies, travel, my two dogs sam and max, my beautiful lover and family, good food and wine, music, anything having to do with Christmas, hiking/backpacking, gardening, international current events
Favorite Movies Nacho Libre, Water (I know...how do those two films even fit into the same sentence?), Christmas Vacation, Lord of the Rings Trilogy (why does it always have to be three?), Best in Show, Harold and Maude, 3:10 To Yuma, almost anything having to do with the mob/gangsters
Favorite Music The Avett Brothers, Bossa Nova, Jazz, Edith Piaf, Maria Mckee, Ella, Duke, Frank, The Boss, Rage Against the Machine, Ben Harper, Frank Lee Drennen, Neil Diamond (how can you be raised by my parents' generation and NOT be a fan?), ALL christmas music, Emmylou Harris, Unwritten Law, Vivaldi, The Gypsy Kings, Green Day
Favorite Books Love in the Time of Colera, The Catcher in the Rye, The Poisonwood Bible, The Prophet, Catharsis: The Things Never Said (the book my students made - brilliant), any and everything by Chuck Palahniuk, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Into Thin Air, Sula, The fountainhead, Siddhartha
