Enjoys crocheting, gardening, cats (I am Cleo's human), NASCAR (especially Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch!), photography, snorkeling in Kailua-Kona with sea turtles, Sizzler's Mega Bacon Cheeseburgers, iced decaf coffee, dark chocolate, color (yarn, fabric), playing around with web technologies - not necessarily in that order!
