After living half my life in a baseball wasteland, Oregon, I moved to Southern California and found myself in Orange County next to Angel Stadium. It was love at first sight. Soon, my daughter then 3 years old and I were regulars at the stadium. We worshipped our new team and found a passion that we shared well into her teens. She is now 15 and goes to games for the food and people watching. In my time away from the ballpark, I am a school librarian after spending 15 years as a freshman English teacher. I love my job and the kids-- it is a perfect fit. I love books, kids and helping people. What could be better than that! I am married to a great man, Todd, who tolerates my obsession with this team. He has been by my side through the trials and tribulations of my favorite team. He has resigned himself to spending a ridiculous amount of money for playoff tickets in order to make me happy. We have three girls between us with one graduating this year from high school and two freshman. To say we're busy is a serious understatement. ; ) Thanks for reading my ramblings and I hope you'll write up your comments and have fun with me!

I love sports (particularly baseball) and tennis. Not surprisingly I love books- favorite authors include Janet Evanovich (for pure fun), Jonathan Kellerman, Perri O'Shaunessy, Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwall for mystery. I enjoy movies especially comedies (Caddyshack, Airplane!, Something About Mary, and Rat Race) as well as adventures (Indiana Jones). I like a good documentary (Rumspringa was excellent) and some foreign films. I love tropical vacations for scuba diving. Favorite dive spot: the cathedrals off Kauai.
