Places I've been

I've been to 32 of the 50 States, Canada and Mexico. I'm still hoping to get to Europe. I've had trips scheduled in the past, but something always seems come up. I'm most interested in visiting France (especially the south, as in Nice), Italy and the UK. Oh - and Russia. Museums, scenery and architecture are all passions and my camera wants to go as much as I do ... I'd also like to hit those last 18 states, with a return at some point to Hawaii.

Favorite Quotes

"No challenge should be faced without a little charm and a lot of style." ~ The Bluetones, "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." ~ Walt Whitman, “I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.” ~ Gilda Radner, "All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." ~ Charles Schultz
