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.

- 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
In the group "The Movie Lovers" the movie The Golden Compass was brought up...
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

Mistle Toe: Mystical, Mystery or Misery?
It is the holiday season. Why is it so hard for some to enjoy the holidays, while others have a one-track need for all to be jolly and hang decorations, maybe Mistle Toe or holly?
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… Continue

Lost Poem
I hear his laughter, but it is in my mind.
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… Continue

NPR's All Thing's Considered
Storm Chasers Seek Thrills, But Also Chance To Warn Others
When disaster strikes, our natural instinct is to take cover and seek shelter. But in severe weather, especially the type that breeds tornadoes like we saw in Oklahoma and parts of the Midwest this week, there are those who ride toward the storm.Discovering A Family Member's Lost Time In Amsterdam
When Margot Adler learned that a cousin had hidden from the Nazis in Amsterdam, she was stunned. Adler started digging around and discovered that like Anne Frank, 25,000 Dutch Jews hid, and two-thirds of them survived. Her cousin was one of them.Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.'Arrested Development' Leads The Charge For Old Brands In New Media

The tech industry is getting a lot in the Senate's immigration overhaul bill. It increases the number of temporary worker visas for skilled technical workers but the industry is pushing for more, including the end of provisions meant to protect American tech workers from unfair competition. The industry's goals and tactics are antagonizing other groups that want to see the bill pass.Book Review: 'King Of Cuba'

Dominique Venner, a well-known French historian who embraced and wrote about ultra-conservative causes for decades, committed suicide today in front of the alter at Notre Dame Cathedral.
