Fun Activities

Singing


I am proud to sing with The Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh. We perform 3 or 4 times per year with the fabulous Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra lead by Manfred Honeck as well as our own self-produced concerts. Let me know if you want to hear about our upcoming concerts.

Dancing


I regularly attend Lindy Hop, blues, and contra dances around Pittsburgh and enjoy traveling for dance weekends when I have the chance.

Cooking


I taught myself to cook from The Gourmet Cookbook starting three years ago and continue to experiment with its fabulous recipes on a weekly basis. I am also perfecting my grandmother's cookie and fudge recipes.

Games


I enjoy strategy board games, particularly more abstract games such as Blockus and Ingenious. A current favorite is Dominion. I also play traditional games like Bridge and Chess.

Exercise


In a past life I was a runner at Seattle Prep High School and a rower at Williams College and Mendota Rowing Club. Now I get my daily dose of endorphins through running or swimming.
