Interests

  • In late January, we got a new Akita puppy, Ciara (Kyra or Keira).
  • Playing with Duncan (also an Akita) and Ciara has become a big part of my weekend and evening activities. 
  • Over the last few months, Duncan has really grown.  He now looks more like a bear than a dog.
  • I am learning how to quilt. It really is a family tradition.
  • I just discovered the Droid X.  Very cool!
  • I drag myself to the gym between 4 and 5 times a week. REALLY!!! To add to the torture, I now have a rowing machine in my home.
  • Reading and learning are very important to me.
  • Traveling to new places is a favorite interest.
  • Spending time with family and friends is at the top of my list.
