I am a bit of a foodie. In my free time I enjoy catching up with friends over a good meal. Living in NYC there are so many choices, it's kind of hard not to be a foodie.
 

I LOVE ice cream, my favorite flavor is rocky road.  If I could get away with it, I would serve banana splits once a week for dinner. 
 

Running is a way to get exercise, but I enjoy it too.  It allows me to mentally relax and detach from a long day.  Every year I plan a trip around running a race.  It is a great excuse to travel and it inspires me to go somewhere new.
 

I can wiggle my left ear without moving any other part of my face or head.
 

Almost 40 years ago I was given a pen pal in a German language class.  We later met in person and keep in close contact today.  To this day, we visit with each other like family.
 

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  Mostly because there are no expectations just coming together as a family and giving thanks. It is a time that we come together as family/friends and share a meal. 
 

I am always looking for the next trip. I love traveling.  My thought of a fun vacation is somewhere warm that offers a vibrant cultural experience.  One of my favorite places to go is Curacao.  
 

I enjoy crocheting and find it very relaxing.  It is fulfilling in that my brain does not have to do a lot of work and a beautiful creation emerges.  I have made sweaters hats, scarfs, booties, blankets, and doilies.
