Looking for a partner in crime to share good stories and a lot of laughs. I enjoy reading, eating, watching/playing sports, listening to music, watching movies, checking out thrift stores and rummage sales, trivia, poster art, cheap beer and penny candy.

Dealing with the workdays to make it to the weekends. Softball and the farmers markets are winding down for the year, so it's time to find other distractions. I'm not in the mood to hibernate.

wasting time trying to figure out what I'm really good at. I'm also good at making ice cream and soup and pretty okay at sudoku.

People notice me? I'll have to start asking.
