Hi!  Glad you could stop by. 

I'm a retired dot-com'er, a yogi, dancer, singer, hiker, photographer, traveller, writer, seamstress, basket-weaver, composer, designer, organizer, and a Christian, not necessarily in that order.  See My Beliefs for details on what I believe.  If you want to see my business background, check out my bio.  See below for more personal information.

• Volunteer work at the Opportunity Center of the Midpeninsula, a facility that helps homeless and at-risk individuals and families. I work primarily with the Family Center.



• Christmas Day Caroling at the VA Hospital For the past three years, I've sung carols at the Palo Alto VA Hospital on Christmas morning. Over 160 people gathered this year on Christmas morning to sing carols to the hospitalized vets. To see pics/videos, go to the pics page. We've decided to sing more often for our Veterans. Please consider participating. Go to www.give4good.net and click any of the register links to sign up for the mailing list.

• The Bright Lights Program - a program started in the fall of 2002 to teach children about helping others. Follow the link for more info. The composite picture to the right shows the kids in the costumes I made for them for the May 2003 "Prom Night" theme.

• St. Mark's Family Choir: A multi-generational choir that sings rounds in church during communion once every 2-3 months.
• East Palo Alto Charter School: I taught Music for Neighborhood Arts at EPACS in the after school program for one year. The link points to the rounds we sang in this class.
• Office Volunteer and singing in the choir at St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Bright Lights is a St. Mark's program but all kids are welcome.
• Kindness: A page about kindness, what it means to me and ideas for ways to be kind.

• Yoga. It keeps me limber, grounded, and has helped me become a bit gentler in my approach to life.

• Making baskets, being creative, jogging, and sewing. Go to my house and crafts pics page. You can also see all the crafts I designed for Bright Lights at the Bright Lights Crafts Page.
• I write music. Listen to some of it on my music page.

• I USED hike often; sadly, I'm too busy these days.  I have some pictures and comments about favorite local hikes and hikes in the Swiss Alps, if you like pictures.
• I like fast cars and drive a silver 2000 Corvette. I considered getting a more earth-friendly car but I drive so little that I've decided to keep it.
