 One of the things I've discovered as I've grown up (?) is that I'm rather predictable. I like to stay at home; I would rather watch a favorite old movie than try a new one I might hate; my idea of the perfect vacation is taking the phone off the hook for a week and watching my garden grow.
Now, don't pity me--boring is comfortable. It does, however, make it difficult to think of things to tell about myself. So here are a few less-than-serious things that might not send you to sleep on the spot. If you're interested, read on. If not, be thankful browsers come with "back" buttons.

I was born, as one publisher wrote on a flyleaf, "a long time ago." He then proceeded to give the date. Which I shall not do.
The great event took place in Eugene, Oregon, where people rust instead of tanning. I currently live in Colorado Springs, where people fry instead of tanning. (We average 250 sunny days a year. Drop in and bring your sunscreen.)
I've been married to the best man in the world (who just keeps getting better) since 1979. Dennis and I met at BYU, got married, had kids... and that's when my real education started. We have four children, and now the baby is at BYU.. |
| My earliest musical training included watching Lawrence Welk with my grandmother, and listening to her practice on the accordion. |

Grandpa used to sing me to sleep accompanied by his banjo. Quite a cultured heritage I've got... Yes, I was born in black and white. Cameras had just been invented. |
I was in Sunbeam class with Danny Ainge, who occasionally had to be restrained from climbing out the window. (I suppose that means I'm old enough to retire--from the NBA anyway.) I was also in freshman music theory with Kurt Bestor, who never did try to climb out the window. (Those are my only claims to fame. Pitiful.)
I love sports--as a spectator. I live in snow country and have never been snow skiing. (How do you spell chicken?) I'm still a true-blue Cougar fan, but I'm a jinx of the worst kind, since every time we attend a bowl game, the Cougars lose spectacularly. The past couple of years we did our part for the team by staying home.
