Interests: I try to be outdoors as much as possible, in 2006 I began a journey that has resulted in the loss of 100 pounds ~ come hike with me!!! Kick boxing, yoga, pole dancing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, geocaching & shooting marbles are other interests :) I love adventure, big or small, enjoy traveling (I once drove to, and around, Alaska for 6 months :) and exploring, even if it's in my own neighborhood. I read every day, most everything interests me. Music is a very important part of my life, I play a lovely acoustic guitar in my dreams, but I am practicing to make that dream a reality. I love listening to live music ~ Portland has some wonderful music venues, I've seen nearly all of my favorite singer/songwriters. I also enjoy theater, book readings, art galleries, cooking, Northwest Microbrews, AAA baseball and so much more.
