10 things you should know about me: in no particular order
by Kristine Long
1. I have four brothers and a sister and a large extended family that is the most important part of my life.
2. I have been a fan of the Phillies all my life and follow the games religiously. Baseball is life; the rest is just detail.
3. I am a passionate reader, and am always reading something.
4. I watch too much television.
5. I stopped hating the Yankees after 9/11 out of respect, but enough already. Ten years? I’m back to hating them.
6. I take Sundays off from work and shopping; there has to be at least one day free from school and retail.
7. I love traveling and I have been to Israel, Ireland, France, Amsterdam, and England. My favorite trip inside the US was to the Grand Canyon, where I stayed overnight inside the canyon. This past summer I stayed five weeks in China, traveling to Beijing, Xian, and Shanghai.
9. I learned to love opera in ninth grade and have listened to it ever since.
10. I absolutely loathe theme parks.
