  • Hobbies & Interests
    Too many to list but travel is at the top - cruising and otherwise - Travel every chance I get. Have done 74 Royal Caribbean cruises, world wide, in the last 14 years -photography, reading, writing poetry, cooking ( though I do much less of it now ), crafts ( again, that's sort of gone by the wayside in my "senior" years ), music, computers ( people will NOT believe I'm saying that!!, anything forensic and good wine!!!
  • Music
    Absolutely love jazz singer, Sony Holland and the songs of her husband, Jerry Holland, Il Divo ( can even make my heart beat faster ), music of my youth ( 50's, 60's, 70's ), country music, Dixieland jazz ( from my nursing school days in New Orleans and my mother's influence ), other jazz, Nancy Wilson, most things, at various times but not heavy metal and don't really like most rap.
  • Movies
    Gone With the Wind, Shirley Valentine, Kama Sutra, An Affair to Remember, anything with Grace Kelly, lots of others but I rarely remember movie names...my friend Sherry Arndt, remembers every movie, song, artist - my brain is fried! .. love foreign films.
  • TV Shows
    CSI Miami, Bones, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Forensic Files, Gray's Anatomy, the Golden Girls ( I'm one now ), reruns of Star Trek and Mash, don't really watch that much t.v.
  • Sports
    Really not that into sports though I will occasionally watch the 49ers. I do love the Olympics and got into track and field when my youngest was a decathlete ( he graduated from Cal Poly last year ). I like tennis and figure skating.
  • Food
    Love food and wine! When I was younger, I catered for awhile. Have about 500 cookbooks, collected during my worldwide travels. I enjoy all kinds of cooking...least favorite, though, is Mexican...I love French, Indian and enjoy wine, not sweet, except with dessert.
  • Pets
    Have none now, like dogs
  • Books
    Anything written by my colleague and friend, former ER nurse, Eileen Dreyer, ie, Saints and Sinners, James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver - all that forensic stuff...but I like Maeve Binchey, Barbara Kingsolver , Nicholas Sparks, Lisa See and so many other authors as well

About Me

Have been an RN forty years. As of February 20, 2009, in the $40 million budget cuts to the Department of Public Health in San Francisco, I lost my job of 21 years as a forensic nurse for the city and county of San Francisco, for CASARC - where I dealt with those under the age of 18 who were victims of sexual assault, physical violence. I am a SANE-A, active in the International Associaton of Forensic Nurses of which I was a founding member.

Not sure now what I will do. This has been overwhelming and we all fought to save our jobs and the services to the children of San Francisco as we had provided them all these years. I've been suffering some medical problems....once I'm better, I have to try to find another job....need lots of prayers from my friends and colleagues. As of now, I am officially retired though one cannot live in the San Francisco area very well on retirement income.
