Four Jobs I've Had:

1. Bartender. I worked a shot and beer bar by myself. The owner showed me a rolled up newspaper and told me that if anyone got out of line, use that on them. I thought, “what scare them with a newspaper as if they were a puppy?” Then I tried to pick it up. There was a metal bar inside the rolled up newspaper.

2. Envelope stuffer. Yes, I did it We were desparately poor at the time.

3. Creative writing teacher for senior citizens. This job didn’t pay very well but I had so much fun with my students.

4. Editor/researcher for two books about golf. Ha, didn’t know a thing about golf when I started but learned a lot quickly.

Four Television Shows I Love to Watch

I am not a big television person but I do watch:

1. CSI – Like Along, I have a crush on Gil Grissom because he reminds me of my husband.

2. Anytime the UCONN women’s basketball team is on tv, I’m watching. I love women’s college basketball.

3. BBC news, hoping to get a slightly less slanted view of world events.

4. Rachael Ray’s 30 minute meals show, and almost any cooking show because by watching it I feel like I made dinner even if I didn’t.

Four Places I Have Been On Vacation

1. St Martin, French side, so I could sunbathe in skimpy bathing suits without feeling out of place, and so I could speak some French before I forgot what I learned in college.

2. Milan, Italy – I liked it a lot, but was surprised how dirty it was…lots of grafitti and dog poop on the sidewalks. A bit disappointing in the food department, because being so close to Switzerland, the food was more white sauces than the red sauces which I associate with Italian food.

3. San Antonio, Texas – the River Walk was amazing and I had more margaritas in 5 days than I’ve had in my whole life. Mexican food was superb and everyone there seemed ready to party from moring to night.

4. Montreal, Canada – one of my favorite places, the outdoor cafes, the food, the people – just a wonderful time and I got to meet some distant relatives too.

Four of My Favorite Dishes

1. Turkey. Just love it, Love it with gravy, mashed potatoes, yams etc, but also love turkey sandwiches.

2. Pasta, any kind, any way, anytime. Chianti Classico, garlic bread..yes!

3. Asian food, Thai especially. Anything with shrimp!

4. Big juicy hamburgers with everything on it and I adore hotdogs too especially served with a dry sparkling rose as in ro-zay…(don’t know how to put the accent in here)…mmmm
