My Interests
A big sports fan, though my tastes have changed a bit. My first loves have always been hockey and tennis, but these days a prefer futbol to football and cricket to baseball. I enjoy baking, specializing in chocolate chip cookies. I love the feel of cards in my hands, and can pick up hands pretty quickly. Scrabble and crossword enthusiast as well.
