faithd923@aol.com Bio* Native Noo Yawker (11th generation!), born in 1958. Raised on Lawnguyland, spent college/grad school/several years following in Ithaca, NY. Moved to the North Carolina mountains just in time for my 30th birthday.
* I have two degrees in vocal music education but have worked in the medical records field since 1993. I guess life is what happens while you're making other plans.
* Formerly (VERY) active as an Appalachian old-time fiddler for some 15 years, but sidelined by "real life" in the mid-1990s. I haven't played the fiddle for quite some time but still love to sing for my own enjoyment. I miss my music pals and the festival circuit and do hope to find my way back for a visit someday...
* Bitten HARD by the baseball bug in 2007. I had been an off and on fan since childhood, but that season I fell back into it with a vengeance and baseball became my lifeline. I had mostly followed the Yankees for years (when I paid attention), but in 2007 I watched whatever I could, whenever I could. Sometime during the playoffs I turned into a rabid Red Sox fan and haven't looked back. I love my team. I also have a thing about Albert Pujols, so I keep an eye on the Cardinals in my vast spare time. One more thing: Just because I follow certain teams does NOT mean that I hate your team. That's just the way I am...
* Other interests include progressive politics, multiculturalism, diversity, and working to stamp out bigotry wherever I see it. I'd like to get more involved in these within my community as health permits (I have multiple sclerosis along with several other chronic health issues, so taking care of my health is a priority).
* Single, childfree, agnostic.
