about me

I live in Los Angeles County. Married 23 years. 3 kids ages 22, 19 and 11. I'm a math professor and a computer tech. The picture above is me running in the Los Angeles Marathon (the first time I did it) on March 4, 2007. I'm smiling because the picture was taken at mile 3. I wasn't smiling by the end. LOL. I've since done the Long Beach Marathon in Oct. 2007 and I did L.A. again in March 2008. The third time was the trick. I finally had a good race and I qualified to run the Boston Marathon in April 2009 and I darn well and going to that.

Running is pretty much my hobby right now, and I started swimming more in spring 2008 and hope to do a triathlon before the end of 2008. Besides cooking/baking I've recently started knitting again (Jan. 2008) and can be found at Ravelry.com most days. I'm trying to get more into gardening and growing some of my own herbs and veggies but right now my garden is a mess. OK, it's a weed patch. I did much better last summer. Maybe I can grow some winter veggies? We'll see...

Favorite Foods:

Everything. I like it all. I'm into trying new things. I've just started really experimenting and trying more advanced cooking stuff in the past couple of years. I'm also very much into healthy, whole foods and whole grains. I stay away from processed, pre-packaged foods as much as possible.
