I write romance novels. I like hiking. I went to the appalachian trail. I like the Grateful Dead.
I like to read. I've been to the appalachian trail. I was once on the local news after I did a kind act for someone. I have not been to the west coast.
Have you done any reading since we last spoke? Yes, I read a couple of chapters from Jessica Simpson's book. Did you do any writing? I didn't get a chance to but I plan on editing a couple chapters later today. I was planning out my next hike. How was the book? I like it a lot so far! It is making me want to plan a visit to LA so I can finally visit the west coast. Have you been to LA? I was there briefly once. I took a train from Washington State to LA. I remember the air quality was shocking. I felt like I could not breathe at first when I got off the train. I had been in Washington my whole life and I guess I was used to non polluted air. When I drove south to Camp Pendleton where it is less developed it was better. Oh that is good to know about the air quality. Did you do any hikes there? No unfortunately I got into a car accident not long after moving there. I have since moved back to Washington though and hike here. What part of the world are you in? I am sorry to hear that. I live in Philadelphia in the city so I usually have to drive far if I want to go hike. So, I don't go too often. I do like to run in the city parks though. What else do you like to do on your free time? I like to journal. It helps me to process things and it's rewarding having things documented. Often when I look back and read my entries, I remember fun things that I wouldn't remember otherwise. What do you like to do on your free time? That is a good habit. I don't have the patience to journal. I like to volunteer at our local food bank. I usually help hand out food or to box it up.  Oh that sounds really rewarding. It's good to help people out. I dream of a future where we don't need food banks anymore, because everyone has everything they need. How long have you been doing it for? Yea I hope we get there one day. I have been doing it for 5 years now. I like to do things that will help our community. Have you ever volunteered?
