| Introduction | My 73rd birthday was Oct 3! I am the mother of three terrific sons - Jeremy is 33, Alex is 35, Shawn is 47. I have been blessed with 2 precious grandchildren and two grandsons. My daughter-in-love, Laura, is wonderful.. I am happily divorced. I lost my position of 21 years as a forensic nurse for the city and county of San Francisco in a massive wave of budget cuts ( Feb 2009 )...so I have retired ( which makes me sad! ). Forensic nursing had been the passion of my life and has introduced me to some outstanding people all over the world. I wish I were the curvy, slim creature of my youth - both of my youngest sons have been trying to help me get back to some semblance of that but it seems pretty remote..though I have lost 50 pounds in the past few years. ..nonetheless, I am still enjoying life and will continue to do so until my last breath!! Did my 88th cruise ( most of them have been in the last 20 years ) - have been on ships all over the world - though I certainly enjoy travel by other means. Since Dec 2011, I have spent nearly 3 years in India, a country I have grown to love and can afford on a retiree's income! |
| Interests | TRAVEL is number one, reading, writing, especially poetry ( in May 2010, I finally fulfilled a lifelong dream and published my first poetry book - "Life's Journey" is availabe at Amazon.com ), social networking, forensics, wine, fine dining and other dining as my figure can attest, cruising, cooking, international friendships, photography, enjoying the end of my life! |
| Favorite Movies | Gone With the Wind, Shirley Valentine, Kama Sutra, An Affair to Remember, anything with Grace Kelly, lots of others but I rarely remember movie names...my friend Sherry Arndt, remembers every movie, song, artist - my brain is fried! I really like foreign films...and Bollywood! Thank heavens for Netflix so I can watch at home and rewind if I missed something on the subtitles! |
| Favorite Music | All of Sony Holland's music..she is absolutely fabulous - sultry, sensuous, perfection on every song, whether jazz classics or the wonderful compositions of her husband, Jerry Holland. I have a great variety of musical tastes from country to jazz to some classical - love Il Divo and anything played by my favorite pianist, Shota Osabe. Am also a big fan of Margie Baker, Kimberlye Gold, Jonathan Poretz and Russ Lorensen, and Valeriana Quevedo great entertainers who play often in the San Francisco area. |
| Favorite Books | Anything forensic, those by Jeffrey Deaver, James Patterson and my wonderful nurse colleague, Eileen Dreyer, Lisa See, Gone With The Wind, anything by Maeve Binchey. |
