Other Interests:

I love reading, especially science fiction/fantasy. I really enjoy camping - went to Lassen, Glass Mountain, Crater Lake, and Shasta Caverns this past summer. I thoroughly get lost in a hot cup of Darjeeling or Irish Breakfast tea. Spicy, flavorful salsa rocks! So do avocados. I prefer cats over dogs, because cats are more independent. I will only watch comedies or action movies - no horror, no drama, no love stories... And The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is how I like to digest news from the White House...
