My paroxysms:
Genealogy - everyone needs to know from whence they came
Scrapbooking - Preserving memories for the next generation
Running - OK - I hate it, but it does a body good.
Volleyball - THE BEST SPORT EVER!

These are my passions. The things that keep me going and help me to preserve my sanity.
