I live in a small Oregon town of about 12,000. I like to see new land through hiking and I'm grateful there are many opportunities in the Pacific Northwest of USA. I read books in my spare time; usually history or other nonfiction. I rank East Indian food as one of my top favorites ever since I was introduced in college by my room-mates from Pakistan and India. I love water - either on a river float trip or snorkeling to view fish.
