I spend way too much time on the computer. I live alone, and I live in a new city. I don't many people. So as soon as I get home, I check email, and surf the 'Net. It's addictive. I love the concept of the world being at my fingertips. I just type in a word, and off I go to Italy, or England, or to read classic novels, and listen to music.
I have some favorite sites that I return to again and again. Since I love to cook, I check out lots of recipe sites. One of my favorites is Hungry Monster. One can find recipes, restaurant reviews, and lots of other useful information about food. You can even submit recipes.
As a music therapist, my passion is music (one of them anyway!) So I check Overstock.com when I want to order a CD. Overstock has a good selection of classical, delta blues, and hard-to-find genres. I have listened to Internet radio for several years now. I recently discovered a great site--Live 365. This site carries stations for every genre imaginable--literally thousands of stations! And it's free! Check this one out!
My other passion is the printed word. It was love at first sight when my sister introduced me to Classic Reader. Here you will find literary works that have passed into the public domain. It's a reader's paradise. I am working my way through Louisa May Alcott. That good lady's wholesome fare does a body good! Or it does mine at least. One will also find Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, and Mark Twain just to mention a few. I am in Chapter 4 of Twain's "Roughing It". What a fabulous writer he was! I wish I could be 1/20th the storyteller he was.
So you know what I will be doing this evening. Who knows where my fingers will take me--Yours, Fannie Ryan
