I am in love with my husband of 38 years, David, and share my busy life with him.
David is a retired elementary school principal and is a home wine maker. He has won numerous ribbons for his fantastic wines at both the Orange County Fair and the Santa Cruz County Fair.
I retired in 2019 from San Jose State University where I was Assistant Director of Finance.
Our son Cooper is 27 and has recently graduated from law school and is awaiting his results from the California Bar exam.

Since we are both retired, we spend a lot of our time cycling, traveling, cooking and dining out. I have a small home gym, just perfect for me and I train 5 days a week without fail. I am actually busier now that I am retired than when I was working, but I am busier doing only the things I love (with the exception of housecleaning, I hate doing that but manage to fit it in)
Cooper once said "Dad, your hobby is a lot easier than mom's, she has to lift weights and diet all the time and you get to sit around drinking wine and eating cheese."
Before I became so interested in weight training, I was constantly cooking, in fact, I even won first place in the Western United States in the "Build a Better Burger Contest" for my Gorgonzola Beefburger with Sun dried Tomato Relish many years ago, in the late 80's. I can taste any dish and re-create it, I thoroughly enjoy food and wine. I now have a lot more time to cook than I used to; however, cheeseburgers will always hold a special place in my heart.
Are you getting the idea of our crazy household yet?
I am not sure where I fit in quite yet, and considering my age, that seems a little odd to me. I suppose it is because I am ever changing, somewhat like a chameleon. Once, not too long ago, David looked at me and said "You always look different, I never know who I am going to wake up with!" Guess it keeps the marriage exciting huh?
He also said "I used to live at Chez Panisse, now I live at a health spa."
We still enjoy going to our favorite restaurant, Chez Panisse in Berkeley and in my posts you will find many other favorite foods and restaurants.
