How long have you lived in Newtown? Ten years this July.
What do you like to do in your free time? I recently started playing piano. I need to practice more, butâ¦. And I am starting to run. Iâm hoping to run the Falmouth Road Race on the Cape this summer. I love to golf. Iâm not very good, but I love, love, love to play. I have so many pairs of golf shoes, too! Pink and white, snakeskinâ¦. I should so be spending that money on lessons.
What is the most recent movie you have seen? Walk The Line. I loved it, especially Joaquin Phoenix. For [Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon] to have learned how to play and sing for the movie is amazing. I have such an appreciation for it, now that I am learning to plunk out a few pieces on the piano.
Do you have favorite travel destination? So many! Bermuda. I like North Carolina. I went to Greece when I graduated from college and would love to go back. Right now, Iâm planning a trip to Ireland, the âmother land.â Thatâs where I would like to be.
What is the best thing about Newtown? What I love about Newtown is that you can go to the Big Y and not go down two aisles without seeing someone you know. I go to Dunkinâ Donuts, and Maria has my coffee ready before I get to the counter. I love that you see people in your car and wave. People look out for each other.
Do you have a hero or heroine? I would have to say my mom and dad. They have always been so positive. My brothers and I grew up thinking we were each the favorite. They are the most unselfish people I know. Thereâs nothing they canât do or take on.
If you could spend a day with anyone, who would it be? Gwen Stefani, because she is musically talented, seems like a ton of fun, and is grounded. If I was with Gwen Stefani, I would want to go visit Madonna. The other would be Bill Murray. We would golf with Bill. That would be my perfect day!
Do you have a personal philosophy? Currently, itâs I Ainât No Hollaâ Back Girl. Itâs a song by Gwen Stefani and whenever I need a little pick-me-up, I just throw that in the CD player. I try to change my philosophy often, because life changes all the time.
