Tell us about yourself:
I love playing games that challenge my skills and knowledge, like Word Scramble. I can't tell you how many things I've typed that have ended up being words. I love my cat, my family and friends. I volunteer and do friendly visits to seniors who don't get much company or are shut in. I play Mah Jongg in two leagues (I'm just learning, so I'm still not very good). I love to travel and explore new places. Love music, to read, to cook.
