More about me

I am a domestic relations attorney in Atlanta, GA, with an emphasis on Collaborative Practice. I was married for almost 24 years, have no kids, but have a wonderful Basset Hound. I love reading, gardening, cooking, and skiing. I would not work if I didn't need the money to sustain my lifestyle. I would rather have a glass of wine and fascinating conversation with one person than anything else. I prefer the company of people who are smarter than I am.

Activities

gardening, cooking, wine tasting, travel, skiing (snow, downhill), reading and thinking about things that help to stretch my mind.

Favorite Charities

Basset Hound Rescue of GA; public radio

Favorite Music

It depends on my mood. Right now I'm on a Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, Herbie Hancock tear. By Monday, it could be Joni Michell or Old Crow Medicine Show or Jimmy Buffett. You never know. I like almost anything except rap and hip hop.

Favorite TV Shows

MASH, All in the Family, Sports Night, West Wing, and Grey's Anatomy. Oh--and I just discovered "Lost!"

Favorite Movies

Again, it depends on when you ask me. Perpetual favorites, though, include "To Kill a Mockingbird, " "Shawshank Redemption, " "Jurassic Park, " and "Philadelphia Story."
