Ernest Hemingway was once dared, by a reader who complained that his stories were too long, to come up with a complete narrative using only six words. Papa finished his beer, pondered for a second, and replied: "For sale: baby shoes, never used." (He would later say that he considered this hexad his best work ever.) And thus, the Six-word Story was born :)
MY PASSIONS: H, dancing, ultimate, and food.
MY INDULGENCES: Travel, massages, Sunday afternoon naps, and food.
MY INTERESTS: Baking and cooking (yes, I am finally cooking!), interiors, basketball, tennis.
A TYPICAL WEEK INVOLVES: Work (which, on some days, actually involves window shopping!), working out, playing ultimate, meeting up with friends, chillin’ out at home, daydreaming, enjoying life as H's wife.
A NOT-SO-TYPICAL WEEK INVOLVES: The above plus dance practice, running, wall climbing.
MY DREAM DESTINATIONS: Greece, Spain, Egypt, and the best beach in the world. And I would love to go back to Italy.
THE WORDS I LIVE BY: As Wolfgang Puck says, “Live, love, eat!” Add to that: Laugh--and dance, dance, dance!
