More about me

I have many interests and am never bored.  There is never enough time to do all I love to do.  Some of my interests:  politics (yellow dog Democrat), the arts - especially music and architecture, travel (many places yet to visit), reading, gardening.  I have a family, 5 grandchildren, and a frail 94 year old mother whose mind is still very spry.  I enjoy the internet, but do not have a lot of time to blog.  I don't watch much television, but love the big professional tennis tournaments, golf (if Tiger is playing), and figure skating contests, plus the Olympics.
