At the moment, I am into various shows on the Scifi channel and I enjoy the CSI type shows.

I love to read! I am currently reading the The Last Jihad by Joel C. Rosenberg. I am a pretty electic reader. I read authors like Tim LaHaye, Clive Cussler, Robert Ludlum, Anne McCafferty and other mystery/action suspence novels.

I love cats and would have several if my apartment complex permitted us to do so. I have had quite a few in the past, but now I enjoy feeding the squirrels, chipmunks and birds on my deck.
