On a personal note, I am the proud aunt to 3 British kids and 3 American kids. I am also overly devoted to my dog Louie (a mostly Jack Russell/Dachshund).
I love to watch sports, even skipping an important graduate class to see the Dallas Stars play in the Shark Tank in San Jose. I enjoy all types of music and highly recommend KGSR in Austin (you can find it online).
I have recently given in to the scrapbooking craze and enjoying making pretty things with paper. I also collect bottles and memorabilia from the Uncle Jo Bottling Company and related entities in Texas,
Louisiana, and, unexpectedly, Oklahoma. Other collectors can read the story of Uncle Jo, as well as the Real Juice Company in Dallas, here.
And, I am always on the lookout for movies and TV shows that will take my breath away like The Big Blue and Lost (first season), make me smile like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, make me feel good like The Shawshank Redemption, and make me think like Memento and House.
