Outside Interests

I am an avid and devoted collector of interests and seem to add a new activity or hobby to my repertoire each year. This year rock climbing and kickball were new additions to an expanding list, which already includes skiing, scrapbooking, running, yoga, knitting, and softball. However, my staples of spending time with family and friends, sampling good food, and watching TV (sometimes all three simultaneously) are the pillars around which all other activities must fit.
