About Me

CURRENT MISSION

reading, writing and not much arithmetic. thinking Yosemite.

ABOUT ME

The quick tale is....from a baseball family; used to run fast, but it disappeared (still puzzled about that); spent all my time reading til my sister told me when I was in eighth grade to stop it and interact with other people (girls were excluded since I was too shy); after college, worked for a magazine and then Publix Supermarkets in the marketing department.

Now, my focus is traveling and writing.

PHILOSOPHY

Integrity. Honesty. Help people, don't hinder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The sense of togetherness in the Couch Surfing community is infectious. I want to contribute and strengthen this feeling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A willing beginner.

Interests

Reading, writing and arithmetic (although I'm a bit rusty on the heavy math...I would have made a grand engineer if I had just learned to make myself study). Baseball, football. Photography, art. Let us not forget Frisbee....the culprit which supplanted my study time with fun and frolic while in college. And skiing. How wonderful are mountains and snow and skiing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am interested in knowing what movies, music and books interest you so your influence and experience can help expand my experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cobalt blue days of low humidity which have a cold sting in the air.

Standing on a high ski slope, getting ready to let it all hang out.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've enjoyed photography for a long time.
Also, maybe some of my experiences will be helpful with understanding and dealing with situations you (or someone you know) are experiencing. And I am interested in learning from you.....whatever you are interested in teaching me.
