About Me

I turned sixty this year which seemed weird at first, but I've grown into the problem of aging and it's okay. I'm glad to still be here. I feel about 35, and actually retain a lot of views from my 20s--you know those wonderful hippie years in the late 60s. I have a degree in English Lit. and a masters in Dance (modern dance). Taught all levels, including college. I retired and stayed home with two wonderful little boys who are all grown up now. I also am deaf but am greatly helped by hearing aids and do not sign because I want to live in the real world.

Activities

Reading, writing, gardening, flower arranging, playing Scrabble, walking, dancing (modern dance),

Interests

I love to read, especially books from Britain and Ireland, but also have favorite American writers like Dave Eggers and David Foster Wallace. My passion is the outdoor songbirds--I have about 6 feeders out all year, and running water (spring), heated birdbath (winter). I like hiking and surfing the internet, and keeping in touch with friends and family via the Internet.

Favorite Music

iI am deaf so limited in what I can hear. Have never heard lyrics, so my loving husband has sung a kit fir me. I love old stuff--the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkle, Billy Joel, Leonard Cohen. But I grew up loving the classics--Mozart, Bach, Schubert, especially in chamber music, which I can hear better than symphony. I also have tinnitus that is so loud it can't be tested, so listening to music, is a passion I've had to let go of.
