Baseball is my refuge and my strength
And remember to always be yourself, because everyone else is already taken

faithd923@aol.com Bio* Aging hippie chick, 11th generation Lawnguylander. Lived in Ithaca, NY for 13 years during and after college, then moved to the Western North Carolina mountains just before turning 30.
* Obtained two degrees in vocal music education but thought better of it and eventually ended up in the medical records field.
* Starting around 1980, I lived, breathed, and slept Appalachian old-time fiddle but was sidelined by "real life" in the mid-1990s in the form of some bad choices and growing health problems. I haven't played in awhile but still love to listen to the music, and I also sing for my own enjoyment. I miss my old music pals and the festival scene and intend 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 and Julio Lugo, so I keep an eye on the Cardinals as well. One more thing: JUST BECAUSE I FOLLOW CERTAIN TEAMS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I HATE YOUR TEAM! That's just how I am.
* Other interests include progressive politics, multiculturalism/diversity issues, and fighting bigotry.
* I'm living with multiple sclerosis as well as several other chronic health issues, so taking care of my health is a priority at this point.
* I'm single, childfree, agnostic.
