Am happily married, have 3 kids and 2 cats. We all love to listen to a huge collection of cd's, enjoy watching DVD's together and try to go camping as often as possible. Our most favorite place to camp so far is the beautiful Sequoia Nat. Park in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The stunning, beautiful (and did I mention huge?) trees there, truly make this Hobbit feel young and as though I am walking through the early ages of Middle Earth.

Reading Tolkien, hiking, camping, reading just about anything, watching old movies, music, theater, watching a certain movie trilogy by director Peter Jackson, and reading.
