I'm currently looking after an elderly gentleman here in CT, but when I'm not busy doing this, I am pursuing my diverse interests in the 'arts'. I enjoy music of all kinds, have lived in Germany for ten years and have sung with a couple of amateur musician friends of mine at local gigs. I also have an abiding interest in poets and poetry too. Still have my autographed copy of a Selection of Gwendolyn Brooks poems, for example.

For my occasional flying visits to New York City, I'm always looking for a friendly CS host!
