cooked Cajun style, spicy. Shrimp cooked any way, crab chowder by my friend Loni, really rare steak, cheese-jalapeno omelette. And Italian breads! Expanding interest in Asian vegetables.

Midnight In Paris, The Parallax View.

When I play games, I play...

on the computer and now I am obsessing over my Garmin GPS and planning road trips using computer, Mapsource, and Google Earth. MahJong on my Kindle.

My pets are...

1African grey male & 1 eclectus male parrot; a female shorthair dachshund, an old male maltese who knows he is not top dog any more..

My dream vacations would be...

..hanging out in a villa in the Tuscan countryside...a YEAR in the west of Ireland ..and the Orient Express or Amtrak ride across the continent, see tides at Bay of Fundy
