love to read
make art (fabric collages)
watch a lot of TV, especially HBO
spend lots of time in solitary contemplation or meditation
for most of the 80s I was nuts about quilting, but that has pretty much subsided now

I was really into Country Western music all through the 80s and 90s, so I missed a lot of popular music during those years. Now I like many different styles of music, but always vocals rather than instrumentals. The Battlehymn of the Republic makes me cry when I hear it.

In classical music I mostly like the brasses and chello. Winton Marsallis is a favorite as is Yo Yo Ma.

Books that I have especially liked are:
Fortune's Rocks, The Last Time I Saw Her, Sea Glass
The Secret Life Of Bees, The Poisonwood Bible, Water for Elephants, The Grapes of Wrath and everything by Michner, Steinbeck, and Tom Clancy

Favorite movies are:
Out of Africa
Babbette's Feast
Enchanted April
Pride and Prejudice (the original BBC version)
Risky Business
Hunt for Red October

Two marriages, two divorces, raising two sons. going to work (for 30 years). Two years college full time at UCLA (56 & 57) then returning to college part time basis in my 40s to finish a BA at CSULA (81-83) and to earn a Masters in Psych at CSULA in the evenings after work (84 & 85).

Two years of psychotherapy after my 2nd divorce made me such a believer in the efficacy of therapy that for a while I wanted to become an MFCC until I decided that I had no business messing around in other peoples' subconscious.

Once I retired from San Gabriel Unified School District and moved to the Central Coast area of CA, I started a small art business. Now, at 70 I have pretty much given up the business aspect and just do art for my own enjoyment. (Much more fun than trying to make it a business)!
