About

I grew up in Southern California and have always enjoyed watching and when I was younger, playing sports. I grew up a Dodgers fan and have suffered with them since 1988. I did disappoint my dad when I became a Raiders fan somewhere around 1969. He was a Rams fan and couldn’t understand why I didn’t like them. I think the constant losing had something to do with it.

I also was a huge Lakers fan until a few years ago, now I don’t really follow the NBA much. I also follow the PGA Tour.

Besides sports I like to hike and play video games.

I also write fiction but not getting wealthy doing that--yet.

    My husband is a Chiefs fan, he always said that while he doesn't like Elway, he has undeniable respect for him as a player.

    *laughs* No problem, it's an easy one to miss. :) (and as a Broncos fan, it was interesting to see the viewpoint of a fan of 'the opposition' on JaMarcus!)
