Donna Crawford
Redondo Beach, California

 
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.

Afternoon Entertainment

Well, another week in Berkeley means afternoons free. Kirk works the 4AM to noon shift. Today, we decided to have lunch and see a movie. There's a fantastic little...food court, I guess it would be...over by Borders (near the Theatres). It has lots and lots of food options - quite the multinational smorgasboard. It is, by far, one of my favorite places to go for "fast food" here. Today I had "Gung Bo" - a chinese dish made from chicken and vegetables with lots of spices, served over rice. Kirk tried a shish-kabob from the Afghan place. It was tasty but way too much food.

Afterwards, we went to see Invincible, the new Disney movie. It received a 70% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so we decided to give it a try. It was actually quite enjoyable - it was an inspiring story, told with humour and grit, with a good dose of reality thrown in.
