I am a firm believer in live and let live.

I try to respect the beliefs and ideas of others, whether or not they agree with mine, but I cannot countenance hatred or cruelty in any form.

I love to read, and will check out anything that piques my interest, regardless of the genre or subject. I must admit to being very partial to Sherlock Holmes stories, and mysteries in general.

I love meeting new people, and trying out new experiences.

I live in the beautiful state of West By-God Virginia, but love to travel. I have lived in many places, and find all of them interesting.
