Favorite Music

I love classical music and opera. I also enjoy big band music and classic rock. I love the Beatles and Bach, Edith Piaf and Maria Callas. I like Broadway and some mellow jazz.

Favorite Crafts

I like to knit and I do a bit of crochet as well. Aside from that, I'm quite klutzy.

Favorite Books

Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Zadie Smith, Virginia Woolf. I like many poets and I'm still in love with Shakespeare after all of these years.

Favorite Movies

Network, The Godfather Trio, Chicago, Atonement, West Side Story, Little Voice, anything with Cary Grant, Brenda Blethyn, Imelda Staunton

About Me

Hello,

I am an aging, plump, sort of dowager lady who likes the unusual in life. My passions are cats, knitting, travel, film and tv to a lesser extent. I like history and languages. I am remarkably illiterate about anything that happened after about 1985 or thereabouts.

I like to write letters and I read a lot--more than most people I know, I would say.

I have two sons who are middle-aged and balding; I've been married 35 years, and I have five cats.

I like coffee, tea, chocolates, and I probably commit most of the seven deadly sins on a daily basis.

Favorite Television

At the moment, the John Adams mini-series is wonderful. I also like The Sopranos, which may be the finest series ever. I like 30 Rock, The Office, Dexter, House, Desperate Housewives. I like many of the Masterpiece Theatre types of productions. I might not watch so much television, if it were not for my need to knit. Dick Wolf productions are good for an easy yet typically riveting hour.

Or do I knit so that I can watch the TV?

Collections

I don't really collect anything; in fact there are very few new things I want. I like letters, postcards, and new yarn, knitting patterns, pens, papers, are always exciting.

Of course my cats are a bit of a collection!

Favorite People

Puccini and Verdi; Flannery O'Connor, Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, John Keats, Wallace Stevens, Edward Gorey, Anthony Trollope, Beethoven, Jackie Kennedy Onassis!, The Royal Family, Anne Tyler, Turner, the painter; the Pre-Raphaelites, Edward Hopper

Things I dislike

I don't much like religious stuff or acrylic yarns. I don't much like eyelash or ribbony types of yarn. I really dislike the smell of smoke and seem to be very sensitive to it.

Otherwise, I'm fairly easy to please.

In books, I don't like Sci-Fi, "romances," "westerns," or anything Harry Potter.
