I am an introvert, feel most comfortable in quiet placed with close friends, books, dogs and cats. I love to read and am especially interested in books that were not originally written in English. I am retired, sing in two choirs, listen to music, and volunteer as a disaster chaplain (providing emotional and spiritual support to people after a disaster such as a hurricane, flood, tornado)I want to learn more about cultures and religions other than my own. The more we understand about each other, the better for all of us.
