Love to cycle 15-25 mile loops. Although I get most of my cycling done during my commuting, I would enjoy sharing brunch rides a couple of weekends a month.
Am a mediocre kayaker, and would love to paddle Lake Natomas with a kayaking friend.
In the winter, I enjoy X-C Skiing at Royal Gorge (well, walking with funny sticks on my feet anyway). Afterwards, it would be fun to share some gluwein at the Rainbow Inn with just the right person....
I have a penchant for woodworking (have made some of my own furniture). I am working on a router table at this time…Correct that; it is finished.
TV runs toward HGTV, Mystery Theater, Western Movies, British humor (wink, wink; nudge nudge; a knowing smile). The series 'Coupling' is painfully funny. Tend to listen to KXPR, KXJZ, KVMR. Garrison Keilor rocks! As Shakespeare once said, I do 'know a cod from a codpiece'. Music runs the gamut from Classical to Mumbo Gumbo and Zydeco; and as a semi-recovered Parrothead, and still enjoy Radio Margaritaville at:

Have all the car camping gear and no one to share it with.... and sleeping in a canvas condominium by one’s self is like a BB bouncing around in a gallon glass jar. So no camping for some time ... but still have all the gear ... and hopes ...
Occasionally go to the small theaters that are burgeoning in Sacto. Try to get to the Sunday concerts at the Crocker and the Sunday Sacto Traditional Jazz concerts.
Like to get down to the Bay and go sailing every once in while. Looking to pick up a little 14' sloop for local stuff and alpine lakes.... am a member of the Lake Washington Sailing Club
Used to ride English but had to give it up due to allergies that developed. Unfortunately the same goes for being around cats (allergies that is).... Update, just got checked by the allergist who says that I no longer have any allergies; is there anyone who needs a partner to excercise her horses? *S*
Absolutely no interest in golf.... like Will Rogers said, golf is a 'perfectly good way to ruin a nice walk'.... same goes for tennis. I really tried to like it, but spent more time off court chasing balls than playing. And I never really 'groked' that scoring system.... I mean I always thought 'love-all' was a saying from the sixties.... of course, if you liked golf, I would be willi
