First and foremost, I enjoy playing the piano and playing chamber music with other musicians. Attending concerts, museums, theatre, art galleries, opera, ballet, comedy clubs, walking through Central Park, window shopping, cooking (I am a great cook - HATE the cleanup), dancing, foreign films, (speak/understand French), bantering with someone intelligent - all of the foregoing and much more, yet there is something to be said about spontaneity - always open to suggestions. Note: do not jog - only running I do is run for the bus - yes, have MetroCard, will travel. I consider myself to be creative, artistic, a perfectionist, striving to do my best at all times and giving it my all (or nothing at all), patient to a point (have no patience for sheer stupidity), extremely intelligent, talented, evanescent, motivated, and quite a comedienne. I don't expend any energy thinking about how other people see me; as a matter of fact, I couldn't give a rat's patootie, as most people misconstrue things quite readily. Judging by the "way of the world", I'm about ready to say "Beam me up, Scotty, there is no intelligible life force here".

Being a first generation American, born of Holocaust survivor parents, (my Mother was rather well known in the Lodz Ghetto and in Auschwitz as The Jewish Nightingale (somehow surviving Auschwitz by escaping - an incredible story- she was an opera singer, the daughter of a Cantor), I consider myself fortunate and fiercely proud to be a Jewess, a member of the chosen people- mindful of the ever present vicious nihilistic spectre of anti-semitism which seems to be once again rearing its disgustingly ugly head. Despite my not being "religious", I do my utmost to attend synagogue on high holidays and uphold certain traditions, i.e., Passover Seders, etc. I consider myself blessed by the gifts, physical, cerebral and spiritual bestowed upon me by our Creator and the Mendellian laws of genetics.

Are there any truly great relationships? The important ingredients required to build a great relationship are integrity, compassion, tenderness, listening to one's "partner" and always being there and at least pretending to be interested in what they feel, think, or engage themselves in. Placing the other person first is foremost - t'is better to give than to receive. To me, selfishness is next to slothfulness. Symbiosis is foremost in any relationship, as is the practice of polysyllabilism. Never become co-dependent, don't sweat the small stuff, and lastly, but certainly not leastly, the past is history, the present is what counts, and the future is yet a mystery.
