As for illnesses, there are none like cystic fibrosis nor hemophilia or muscular dystrophy. I am nearsighted, as are my mom and brother. I have good health insurance through my job.

Both sides of my family have had children well into their mid-40s. Family is very important to me and both parents came from large families. I also have been to 48 states and half a dozen countries. I have a cat and she is my best friend.
