My favorite music is from the 30’s 40’s and 50’s. Standards sung by the greats, like Ella Fitsgerald, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Jo Stafford.

My dream vacation would be a 6 month trip to Africa. I’ve wanted to go there ever since I was little. I love animals. I’ve enjoyed the people I’ve met from Kenya, South Africa and other countries. I would go on as many safaris as possible, see the Sahara and the Serengeti and the Sphinx. [...]

In one of my work places, it was important that we used fire resistant fire retardant on some items. I used to work on a paddle-steamer and the engine room as well as the galley were places in which fires could start easily. That’s why it was important to fire-proof as much of the equipment [...]

Something most people don’t know is how I feel about running. I’ve been running on and off, mostly on, for about 15 years. I started running to lose weight. It turns out that running may not be the most efficient way to lose weight (you need some weight training in there too as well as [...]

Probably the best of my physical features would be my eyes. I used to think they were dark and mysterious, but having seen others with much darker eyes, I know they are in fact the kind of eyes often described as hazel. Some people think they’re brown; others think they are green. The truth is [...]
