For all those who know me, they will tell you my continuing obsession is wildlife and the outdoors. Travel consumes much of my thoughts. Seeing more of the world is a definate goal. One of my dreams is to go horseback riding in Mongolia...but, all in good time :-) Right now all I can do is sit back and see where life takes me.
