What do I do when I'm not working?

Skiing
I learned to downhill ski later in life, so I am a perpetual  beginner.   I love to be outside and it's an excuse to visit the mountains.  Picture above is from Grindelwald, Switzerland.  The slopes I skied were were a bit more gentle than the picture shows.

I also enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing in Milwaukee County Parks and Northern Wisconsin.

Running/Hiking/Walking
I began running when I joined the cross country team in high school.  I'm not a great athlete, but there were no cuts on the team and it was a chance to get fresh air and have fun.  I'm not at all fast.
​
My longest distance is half-marathon, which I have completed 5 times.  I also enjoy 5k fun runs with friends, and my Saturday morning hiking group.

Tidying
A little book about tidying has changed my life.  Who doesn't want a more tidy home? 

It took me from a cluttered home that was hard to keep tidy, to a more zen, streamlined home filled only with things I love.

The change has made me a calmer relaxed person, with much more time on the weekends to pursue other hobbies.
