Bio:

I was born in North Carolina and lived there until I was about 2 or so.  My father was in the military, so we moved every year or two.  We lived up and down the east coast, in Arkansas, Germany and Kansas, before he retired in 1980.  I attended Manhattan High School (in Kansas) and college and law school at the University of Kansas (Go Jayhawks!!).

I've lived in Alabama, Georgia, Texas and California since leaving my parents' home.  I currently live in California with my husband Kirk (even while we were on our RTW, we considered California as home). My family and friends are scattered all over the place, as you can imagine.

My husband and I are highly involved with our church, locally. I have lots of hobbies, including cooking, HAM radio, reading, travelling, bzflag, and sports/outdoor activities. Although I love to watch Jayhawk Basketball, I generally prefer to participate. Some of my favorites are beach volleyball, scuba diving, cycling, rowing, swimming, snow skiing, tramping, surfing, off-roading, etc.

My travels over the last few years have taken me to Costa Rica, Hawaii, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and most recently, on a 15-country, 1-year round-the-world trip.

Summer Sunday Afternoon

Despite the fact that June gloom has arrived just on time, it is not truly summer until you've grilled out. Today, Kirk built a cool little platform so we could grill out without hunching down on the ground or having to go downstairs so we weren't under the eaves. As a result, we declared it "officially summer" in with some grilled burgers (I didn't have enough notice to do anything more complicated than that). (Next, we're going to have to go to church on the beach to make it indisputably summer.)

We watched a bit of the Lakers game (they lost) and then turned on one of our Netflix DVDs. Let me just say, we LOVE Netflix! What a deal! Tonight, we watched "The Company", an interesting film, almost in documentary style, of a ballet company. The cinematography was wonderful! Last night, we saw a really great,hilarious French film with Jean Reno, "Wasabi".
