Love TV, movies, and books--mostly mysteries, with a good love story thrown in every now and then. I have four adopted dogs who I adore. I love trying new recipes, and enjoy eating what I make. English language perfectionist. Reading in bed, Italian food, warm weather, the beach, all types of games = favs!

In August 1982, a small group of visionaries at the WLIR radio station knew they couldn’t compete with the mega-stations in NYC.
