I enjoy hiking and backpacking almost every weekend. I am becoming certified as a DDPYoga instructor (it's **not** traditional yoga, it's a "yoga-inspired hybrid" workout that includes old-school calisthenics, MMA moves, strenght building and cardio). I am also taking piano lessons for the first time in over 35 years. :-) I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian and my life revolves around the Church. I am a cat person, but only have one cat, one dog and one parrot.
