Hometown

I was born and raised in the Quad Cities (Davenport and Bettendorf IA, Moline, Rock Island, and East Moline, IL) While each town had smaller populations, the combined numbers added up to a medium size city, while the mentality remained basically small-tow

Places I've been

More about me

I am 64, am the matriach of an extremely large family, widow, retired homeowner, and have a wide number of diverse interests. I have lived in a third-world county in the late 80's early 90's, which was a very educational and self expanding experience.

Favorite Movies

Impossible to answer. Movies are my passion. I used to have a movie club where we explored movies both content and techniques and therefore I researched so many movies that the favorites continued to pile up. I like comedy that requires some prior knowledge of the subject in order to fully comprehend the comedy. For instance Young Frankenstein can be enjoyed by many but if one knows the old Frankenstein movies there is so much more to laugh at. Also mental comedy rather than physical.

Favorite TV Shows

Discovery, Home & Garden, the Food Channel, The Learning Channel, BBC, PBS, and the old-movie channels
