I was born and raised in New York State. I grew up in a wholesome environment....lots of trees, lakes, clean air, good water (if you live in Florida, you know what I mean), open space in the country, where there is a winter, spring, summer and fall...just right!

I now live in Southwest Florida...it's great and has its attributes...simplier lifestyle, lots of sunshine and coast...very nice winters, maybe too much humidity in the summer, definitely. In my heart, I will always be a New Yorker. Go NY Giants!

Maya Angelou, Pope Benedict and Bill O'Reilly...lol.

Everything outdoors....

I have lots of interests and enjoy lots of things..from a healthy lifestyle to metaphysics...I like nature, good food and fine wine, the Florida sunshine and serenity of the Gulf of Mexico, and spending time with my friends for lunch or dinner. I enjoy yoga, pilates, reading, cycling and swimming. I am never bored.

I like most music..rock, starting back from the 60's and 70's, jazz and classical.
