So, I was asked to leaf through my personal photo albums and
choose some shots to share with you. I have so many albums,
so I had to limit my choices! I've added a few comments along
the way, so enjoy!

The inevitable baby picture...
but you have to admit that I was kinda cute, even if I was bald.

Me, my sister and brother on Halloween. I always wanted to be a
princess on Halloween, and you gotta love the heavy winter jacket
under my glamorous gown. You needed it in upstate New York in
October, but I hated having to wear it!

Leading the cast of Godspell in "Bless the Lord" my senior year of high school.
I was president of the drama club, known as The Footlghters. My drama teacher,
Paul Martin, came to see my October appearance at the Orange County
Performing Arts Center, and it was so great to have him there. The last time
he had seen me perform was in 1982! He had a huge influence on my life,
and I still use the skills he taught me in drama classes.

 High school graduation shot. Yikes.

 Cheering for the basketball team at Colgate University.

My favorite person in the world, my sister Lynn, holding my wacky black
Persian cat, Satchmo. Satchmo thinks he's a dog - he comes when he's
called, talks a lot, and is a real joy. He has a bottom tooth that hangs out all the time.
Here's my other kitty, Diva. And, she is a diva, believe me.

I love this picture. We were taking publicity shots for the show Nunsense,
and I posed like this as a goof. You should have seen the faces of the people
driving by as they spotted this wine-drinking, smoking, mechanic nun.
You can't see it in the photo, but my nails are painted bright red, too.

Me and Debbie Reynolds after a concert. How cool is that?

My friend and hair stylist Massimo with me at a wedding. He's getting ready
to move back to Italy! Whatever will a girl do with her hair now? I love the
new auburn color he gave me after I came back from Mamma Mia!

And now, a couple of favorite vacation shots....

Snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

 Standing under the Wailua Falls on
the island of Kauai in Hawaii. We also swam in the pool right under the
Falls after taking a local trail that isn't in the guidebooks. It's one of
my favorite memories of a vacation.

       
Same trip to Kauai, with best friends Jeff Paul and Mark Wickham on the porch
of our rented beach house (left photo), and getting my butt kicked in scrabble
by Adam Hemming (right). I absolutely love games, and so does Adam.
We can both play for hours and hours!        

I realized when I pulled out this picture
from Portofino, Italy that my favorite vacations are all in warm,
beachy places. Interesting, since I already live in Laguna, which is
about as beachy as you can get!

Finally, the gorgeous view of the Hudson River from my room in the apartment
I am sharing in New York City with my buddy Susan Egan. A whole new adventure!

Thanks for letting me share!
