I relish adventures. I find it especially enjoyable to explore local undiscovered venues. I delight in the thrill of doing something for the first time. I am partial to traveling and photography, viewing the world through a different lens.

One of the things I appreciate about reading is delving into different opinions. I am usually in the middle of many books at the same time. As I don't get to travel as much as I wish, I find that books are a way for me to escape without the expense.

Fall is the best season of the year because that is when football starts. Unfortunately other obligations frequently take me away from watching games. But nothing beats the experience of being at a college football game.

Food is an essential part of a happy enjoyable life. I savor the experience of trying new foods and finding unique restaurants. I take pleasure in different types of food and experimenting in the kitchen (even though sometimes it doesn't turn out as planned).

I am very involved in serving my community and fighting for worthy causes. Most of all I like to be happy. So I am.
