I am currently Chairing a fundraiser for the Bret Harte Middle School Dance Team to raise $$ for their National Competition...
- Why I'm Here:
- Personal, To Make Friends, To Learn, To Change the World
- My Passion:
- Having fun! I like to play sports with the kids. I LOVE to dance, although I never took a class as my daughter does, but I can freestyle all day long! I love fine dinning - especially if I am not the chef, although I do like to cook! I just don't like to clean up the mess afterwards! I love to get together with my friends to catch up. I love to spend holidays with my family. I enjoy meeting new people. I love my pet Skittles. I love nature, and that is why I love to hike.

- That the US gets rid of Democrat and Republic partisans. I hope that you can pay your taxes and individuals can select what we want the money to go to, so you feel good about paying taxes (like shopping)!

I hope that the older generations teach their kids it is okay to make their own choices, even if it is different than what the parents think.
- My Dreams:
- They are in my mind. I prefer to call them goals, because dreams are harder to come true!
- What Else?:
- I love to travel and meet new people and see new places. Last year I went on a Caribbean cruise and it was amazing! I love tropical places... I enjoyed the jungles of Kauai this last summer and didn't want to leave... I hadn't traveled prior to that, in a long time, because the kids were too young, but now that they are getting older, I am getting more freedom to play again. LOOK OUT!

The Golden Compass
How do you feel about a children's author pushing atheism? Should it be disclosed?
Commentary:
So, I heard the author of The Golden Compass is an atheist and in the end of the book series,
the kids kill God.
I checked it out and it is true. I think I will keep my kids away from this one... This is good reading prior
to seeing the movie, if you still decide to see it:

Mistle Toe: Mystical, Mystery or Misery?
What does Mistle Toe mean to you? The complexity and variability of Mistle Toe, eerily remind me of the intricacy and diversity of human nature.
How can one person face hardship, loss, and maybe even abuse, and still be the strongest amongst us, while others who “appear” (key word) almost pampered, think life is diff… Continue

Lost Poem
I see him laughing, like a passage through time.
I don’t want to lose each memory, so dear.
But they are fading and not as clear.
I find myself staring at the empty chair
With a pensive, blank, yet lonely stare.
I need a sign of his love for me.
It meant so much, the trunk of our family tree.
The stab of pain in my heart grows weaker.
As the days, weeks, months drift by and the pain becomes meeker.

NPR's All Thing's Considered
Waging War On Distracted Driving
Nineteen states have banned texting while driving. It's part of a growing movement to crack down on mobile phone usage behind the wheel that is reminiscent of earlier campaigns against drunk driving.Thanksgiving At The White House
At the White House Thanksgiving dinner Thursday, there were no surprises on the menu. There was turkey and honey-baked ham, cornbread and oyster stuffing, sweet potato and mashed potatoes and six kinds of pie. Fifty guests were on the list, including staff, friends and family.Personal Rapid Transit: Future Or Elevated Fantasy?
Transportation planners are banking on a futuristic network of ecofriendly computer-automated pod cars as the next smart form of mass transit. Several U.S. cities are doing feasibility studies for personal rapid transit systems, and Britain's Heathrow Airport plans to launch its system in the spring.Jerusalem's Palestinians Allege Expulsion Campaign
Palestinians hope East Jerusalem will be the capital of their future state, but successive Israeli governments have stated that the city is the undivided capital of Israel. Now, Palestinians in East Jerusalem allege that there is a campaign being waged against them to divest them of their property through expulsions and demolitions to make the Israeli goal a reality.In N.Y. Museum, Renewable Materials On Display
Store shelves these days are packed with products claiming to be "eco-friendly." But it's hard to know exactly what that means. An exhibition in New York tackles that question with the help of 10 top designers. The Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum — together with the Nature Conservancy — asked the designers to create surprising products out of renewable materials from 10 different areas in the world.Listeners Share Nontraditional Thanksgiving Stories
While many Americans strive for the usual Thanksgiving fare, some listeners revel in their own, idiosyncratic family traditions this time of year. Gene Koo goes to White Castle with friends every year, and Kim Kryzwy serves up a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving feast for her kids for the second meal of the day.Virginia Couple Crashed White House Dinner
the Obama White House held its first state dinner Wednesday in honor of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. It was an event full of pomp and circumstance, bringing together more than 300 dignitaries from the world of politics and entertainment. The guest list was exclusive, and the security tight. But a couple from Virginia managed to crash the event. Amy Zantzinger, social secretary for President George W. Bush from 2007-2009, says this might be the first time a White House party was crashed.Top German Officials Quit Over Afghan Airstrike
The head of Germany's armed forces and a senior official from the defense ministry resigned Thursday following allegations the ministry withheld information about civilian casualties sustained during an airstrike in Afghanistan in September. Christian Thiels, senior defense correspondent for the German television network ARD, says the two officials who resigned knew of the civilian casualties.Restaurant Owner Recalls Mumbai Attack
One year ago, 10 gunmen laid siege to the city of Mumbai, India, attacking hotels, a Jewish center and other sites. More than 160 people were killed. One of the locations targeted by the gunmen was the city's Leopold Cafe. Farzad Jehani, one of the owners of the cafe, says the cafe organized a live band, and many of those patrons present on the day of the attacks returned to mark the event.Report Accuses Catholic Church Of Abuse Cover-Up
A new report in Ireland — the second such report this year — says the Roman Catholic Church in the Dublin Archdiocese covered up decades of child abuse committed by priests. The inquiry accuses Catholic bishops of protecting the Church's reputation at the expense of the children in its care.Forums
