I have two wonderful and talented kids who make me laugh every single day.

I try to get outdoors with my family as much as possible. We love to hike and camp and commune with Nature.  I have also been known to bake away my pain in a very Kitty Forman like manner. If I am upset you had better believe there will be vodka and pie with dinner.
