Living on Vancouver Island, Canada with dogs, cats & chickens. Interests: Books, Dogs, Quilting, Old buildings, Chickens, Good Food, Good Friends. I like to stay at home and read - but I love to travel to exotic/ off the beaten track locations. I don't like package tours and have travelled to many out of the way places on my own. When I travel I like to experience what is unique about that place- food, culture, history, etc. I like most kinds of food except fast or bananas. Oh- and don't like alcohol or the flavour of, so no Irish Cream cocoa or filled chocolates. I like deco and moderne- fifties colours and design- but no tv stuff. I like working with my hands and one of my degrees is in ceramics with a minor in fibre arts. My main degrees are related to History in Art and Heritage Preservation. I don't do "cute." If a swap calls for cute, please send clean design instead. Colour-wise- I like most, just not muddy or acidic. issues@uniserve.com

I like almost all kinds of music, but don't go to live performances all that often. Last club thing I went to was a few years ago to hear Ellen McIllwaine. Heard Ruthie Foster at the Conservatory last year and went to Rigoletto in the spring. I grew up back east in a city which had lots of Broadway openings and I love musical theatre and operetta. Took my kids to see the Mikado when they were 4 & 8 and took my son to see the Eurythmics when he was 14. Fav Music: Billie Holiday, Beatles, Sarah MacLaughlin, Lyle Lovett, Operatic tenors, Stan Rogers, Patsy Cline, Annie Lennox, Blues, Country, popular, r & b, rock and roll, jazz but not modern. Not rap.

"Cousin, Cousine" (the French one), "Bull Durham", "Long Riders", "Star Wars-1", "Rear Window", Adventure, documentary, most any- once!

Most mystery, detective, cop, lawyer shows.
